    Believe can cross into delusion and become harmfull. I believe (hihi) creationism is part of the latter, as it also implies a hierarchy inbetween people and between people and other life.

    Additionally, all evidence points away from intelligent design. For this youtube channel in particular, it’s sad to see examples of belief over evidence.

      Fundamentally isn’t any religious belief in an omnipotent/world creating god creationist? I think the evidence trying to “prove” intelligent design is pretty weak, but the thing about essentially all religious belief is that its not exactly falsifiable. The argument can basically be as simple as “yes that evolved but god created everything in the world so it would evolve that way” or “no it didn’t evolve, god created the world 5000 years ago, he just also made stuff that to any observer would appear older. he did that to intentionally obfuscate the truth so you must have faith”

        Oh yeah. This isn’t a problem unique to Christianity.

        I think the function of a belief system is to lessen fear in scary, doubtfull, uncertain, painfull situations. That’s when an unfalsifiable happy ending brings comfort.

        It’s just that many of them were invented quite a while ago, and some things that used to be unknown and scary then, are now better understood or obsolete. No point in engaging in makebelief for those.
