What value or meaning does a belief in Creationism automatically assign to life? All the creation story does is attempt to explain where life came from. There is no inherent purpose proposed to any of it.
All the creation myth says is that God created life, it never tells us why.
No one is forced to live. People can and do decide not to all the time.
You're acting as if creationism is the only possible philosophical or theological explanation for existence or the inherent value thereof and that if anyone doesn't subscribe to it they must be an nihilist by default.
This is an incredibly narrow and false perspective. Not only does it discount every other religion, theology, and philosophy mankind has ever come up with, it completely disregards the value of, or the ability to appreciate, the subject experience of life itself.
Expressed this way Creationism comes across as a codified form of personality disorder.
If someone needs permission from something written in a book in order to experience value or meaning in life, I could understand why they would be baffled by the lack of this need in other people. Unfortunately, it's one of those things that, if it needs to be explained, couldn't be explained effectively.
No. The ToE says nothing about the value or meaning of life one way or the other.
A big lie in what sense?
The same as anybody else.
The most important aspect of supporting creationism, is the fact there is an afterlife and life is only to fufill the requirements for accessing a good destiny in the afterlife (personal opinion of course) but if life didn't mean anything for me, why would I go to school, or work or do all those things if being alive or dead is same thing for oneself? Personlay I find no happiness in that.
I understand some people suicide, but those are a well small minority who endured most of the time great issues, however a majority supporting evolution, still continue to live, and personaly I think they are waiting for someone to tell them that the evolution theory is not true. because nobody likes to beleive it however science facts does support it so far. I would love to ask if in each one's personal opinion, do you prefer to have a creator who judges things right, or to like evolution and act as if life is normal and all is good? (im asking about what do each of you feel, not scientific facts or anything) because personaly If I wasn't a beleiver in creationism, I would really feel very sad that this world going to a certain end of death, and I would love if creationism was true. I know this is out of topic but I just wana know what each feel about it.
It's true there are other theological reasonings, such that after death oneself might be living someone else's life etc... but it goes back to the same point that ownself consciousness gets deleted after death and for my humble opinion remove the value of oneself which I find depressing. Not sure about other ideologies.
For me, creationism explains an afterlife, so beleiving in any sort of after death experience other then this life, I would also consider it a support for creationism because if life ends then another thing starts that mean there is a linker to all those events in a person's life, which might be a supernatural force that set this up for each being, and It kinda confirm creationism too. So evolution says after death it's all over, what would oneself experience in life mean then for oneself? I understand some great scientists, artists... might still have helped mankind even after death but for oneself doesn't it all end after death said by evolution?
I dont know if your implying to the Gospel, Thorat and Qur'an for the books, but I did find the answer I needed from the Qur'an that doesn't fully reject evolution but supports creationism aswell, and made perfect sense in my mind.
Personaly I think evolution doesn't disprove creationism, I mean if there was a creator, would you think that he creates the same way as humans do? So to build a building he stack bricks together etc..? I think evolution is the tool for the creator and mutations even if they look random for us, does happen in an organised way guided by the creator, and religion is here to tell us that. So instead of going towards death empty handed, I chose to folow a religion and have some backup in my soul.
