"I myself am a laymen who sees creationism as a branch of Christian apologetics and one vital aspect of given every man who asks the reason for the hope that is within him ."
"So you admit right from the beginning that creationism is not a scientific endeavor but one of religion . You also falsify your own dichotomy in the next sentence by limiting `` creationism `` to your particular brand of christianity and thus exclude various other myths that are as valid as the mythology of bronze age herdsmen . I do n't know what the rest of your sentence has to do with science so I suppose it is religious . It is therefore meaningless in a discussion of science ."
"creationism one vital aspect for the hope"
