Angel you lost me. I don't think I use "creationist" arguments since I'm not a creationist. However, I do think the universe has meaning apart from a blind evolutionary force. Does that make me a creationist? I reject any such label. Again, different people use the word "theory" in different ways and there is no "sciencetific" difference. A theory is a theory. Evoluction as a process is more than a theory. Evoloution as mindless and blind is a theory. See the difference? One is science and one is philosophpy. Scuse my spelling. Anyway, if being a creationist is a blind adherence to a "sky god" with no use for the study of evoluction then NO I'm not a creationist. If being a creationist means you beleive in purpose and meaing and even havet he audacity to pray a prayer then Yes I guess I'm a creationist to some. Although, I doubt that particular camp would have me. Anyway, I think we are just splitting hairs here and I'm not interested in simply taking a "word" and beating it to death. I am confident that my statements can withstand "logicigal" agreement or disagreement. But, please don't label me. I'm not any certain thing. I'm a person in the midst of a journey and I (like some scientist) change my mind as the ideas and experience of my journey change. You'd be amazed at how very much of a change my worldview has undergone in my lifetime. Still "evolving."

[QUOTE="tyder001, post: 115289, member: 853"] Angel you lost me. I don't think I use "creationist" arguments since I'm not a creationist. However, I do think the universe has meaning apart from a blind evolutionary force. Does that make me a creationist? I reject any such label. Again, different people use the word "theory" in different ways and there is no "sciencetific" difference. A theory is a theory. Evoluction as a process is more than a theory. Evoloution as mindless and blind is a theory. See the difference? One is science and one is philosophpy. Scuse my spelling.
