It denies biological realities today. Sit down with a practitioner of the creationism hermeneutic and a Bible. In my experience, they don't. The real danger of creationism is not that it denies the scientific hermeneutic, but that it denies any hermeneutic that engages Scripture with the kind of love that sees deeply and honestly so that the word of God can transform us. Va. Evolution and creationism are not equally valid.
Evolution consists of quasi-scientific speculation.
Creationism stems from hard scientific fact. Consider my watch. It did not evolve. It has about 150 parts. Compare this with the simple, one-celled microbe which has about 2.5 million parts.
