:( Not a very exciting discussion

While that would technically be correct, I think it may have been confusing to entitle the discussion so.

Unfortunately, Creationism doesn't just apply to the universe, but also to biological diversity. If someone believes God controls the weather, it would be correct in saying "Creationism vs. Meteorology." But the connotations with the phrase "Creationism" tends to apply to biology, rather than any other branch of science.

[Desertphile]

Creation = Big Bang

Evolution = Biology.

I assume this cult means "Creationism and science." The former requires faith: the latter of course does not.

genetic markers can be traced through populations and history. they don't just 'look the same'.
