... I think you've confused creativity with creationism in this case-

Can you have 'creation' WITHOUT 'creativity'?

I suppose creationism can be viewed as a primitive man's way of creativity. I mean when mankind had no clue as to how the world works, it's obvious they'd make stuff up. That requires creativity. What I don't get is how this primitive behavior still tries to act as truth in our modern culture.

Napoleon Hill says in Think & Grow Rich (the classic from 1937, on par with How to Win Friends & Influence People) that about 90% of "creation" is just 'putting already-created things together in new ways.'

I stand by my JOKE neither knows more than the other

That is an incorrect assertion-- by stating that one does not believe evolution to be a reality and a practiced theory, one is showing either ignorance or stating that they are uneducated on the issue. Not knowing anything about evolution means that one is not familiar with science, and therefore one does know more than the other- the person who understands evolution and creationism and can tell them apart from each other.

I did say I do not get of what is the difference.

Then you should be the one re-reading thread. Not I.

That is what's wrong with some who think they are so smart, a educated fool is what I call them. LMAO Guess what you proved my joke to be true.

Calling someone an "educated fool" because they didn't grasp your ignorant joke is just lame behavior. Don't quit your day job.
Taking my Quote out of context would make you seem a smart person. I stand by my quote and joke. Educated fool!

VP...i certainly didnt need to read your joke to see all the mass confusion that the devil has done in this world to hide the illumination of Gods kingdom thru HIS son Jesus.

I support a worldwide brotherhood of followers of Christ that follow HIS command at Mathew 24:14.This good news of the kingdom will be preached in the entire earth and then the end of this satanic system will come to an end.

So if you wanna think 20,000,000 people attended The Lords evening meal <Memorial of Christ death> because they are trying to out-do each other,i seriously think you better get another writer for your joke telling.
[/quote Who cares about your 20,000,000 those are not my people.

Watching Steven Meyers a creationist and he makes some good points about DNA having to be thought of and not just random chance.I also like some things that Richard Dawkins has said he's a big evolutionist.Got his book the Blind Watch Maker it's confusing have to try reading it harder like with no distractions .
I am a creationist. Only God can create something as wonderful as a human being. And then there are all of the animals. Each one is uniquely different than another. God created the heavens and the earth!

Of course not you keep just putting parts of my quote. Anyways I am not going to go back and forth with this. I was replying to another when you entered in. I refuse to make a mountain out of mole hill.

Creation, Evolution; Why does it matter? And why not both

An important quality of mankind is that we evolve and adapt so we understand reality more. From there, we can improve...well...practically everything! Creationism in the modern world is a step in the wrong direction since it's saying mythology is reality. What if I were to tell you that the reason the sun moves across the sky each day is because of a god and his horse are pulling it? And then when you find out that that's preposterous and show me proof that there is no god and chariot, I implement some skewed version of my original story to make it fit within my crazy beliefs? You'd think I'm a nut, right? That's pretty much what creationism strives for- failure to be rational and factual in favor of ancient myths.

Not everyone believe in your assumption. Just because you say it does not make it real!

So why does it matter? Suppose you actually did believe that 'G*d pulls the sun across the sky in his golden chariot' ... so? Does it CHANGE the Truth? What evidence have you that it's NOT G*d-pulled?

What's the difference between ancient mythology & the modern mythology we have today (a.k.a. "science," but really 'scientist's highly-convincing stories')?

You are correct. However it'd show a lot of integrity if you were to explain how my facts and examples (or assumption as you put it) are incorrect.
