The Rare Creationist

Huh?

I actually don't see why it's funny. It could be true. I believe God created the earth. That's not negotiable to me. How long it took is negotiable. How God did it is negotiable. But surely an omnipotent God, if truly Omnipotent, could create an earth in one nano-second or he could do it over a trillion years. But if God lives outside of time, what does it matter to him and does he measure time? Could he do a trillion years of work in one second and leave evidence of a trillion years of work? Sure he could. So as one who believes God created the earth, as said in the Bible, I see no reason to argue against evolution or a very old earth. Only a foolish Christian/scientist would deny science to protect his beliefs. Let the science lead where it may. And let your faith lead you where it may. I have perfect confidence in the end it will all make sense. It will be universally known that there is a Creator God and he will probably share with us when and how he did it and then with our eyes and understanding fully open, we'll all smile with a big "ahhhhh.... now I get it, it all makes sense...."

Oh, I deal with the inability of creationists to provide evidence for their claims all the time.
I deal with it quite well.

Regarding to the OP.
Not many creationists wold have admit to all that.
Many of the creationists I have met here, are anti-science, not just anti-evolution, thinking their “infallible” or “inerrant” scriptures provide superior knowledge than today’s science, still stubbornly relying on the primitive superstitions of God-did-it.
Yes, it is rare that a creationist would say what he said.

True. The belief in gods blinds many people to the truth.
What you call "purposive potential" is just nature. You left out the most natural instinct/urge - reproduction. That's why roaches still abound.

The Atheist "belief" in a godless universe is just that, a kind of pessimistic faith.
You still don't get it?
We don't necessarily believe in a godless universe. We're just withholding belief pending evidence, like you do with unicorns.
Atheists don't have faith, that's what makes us atheists. Faith is belief without sufficient evidence -- see above.
Pessimistic? Why is godlessness pessimistic?

My comment is more directed to people who believe God created the world and also believe in a young earth with no evolution. I was sharing a perspective on how one can keep thier faith in God, believe the Bible, and remain open to science.
Yet you addressed your comment to me
