Wow, this topic is way too big for a simple joke at creationists.
Creationism isn't a theory, it isn't even a scientific hypothesis and there's no debate between Creationism versus Evolution!
Creationism is propaganda from some particular sects of Christianity in the US, like Jehovah Witnesses and other Evangelical sects, it has a religious agenda and a political agenda.
The vast majority of Christians doesn't even consider this kind of propaganda, like Catholics, Anglicans, Presbyterians and so on.
1) Creationism is a theory. Theories can be good, bad, weak, strong, etc. Theories need not be scientific; a scientific theory is simply one that meets a certain set of criteria.
2) There
shouldn't be much of a debate because the theory of evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life, which is what Creationism is about. But, out of curiosity, what would you say about a debate between theories based upon empirical evidenced and theories based upon logical tautologies?
3) It's more than propaganda, and even if we assume its sole purpose is to facilitate a religious or political agenda, that doesn't make it invalid (I'm not suggesting its true, but rather merely stating that its illogical to conclude Creationism is invalid based upon the premise that its used to facilitate a political or religious agenda).
4) Ad-populum never indicates that a theory is more or less valid.
Sure, but they are pushing it as a scientific theory, and even trying it to be taught in biology classes.
I would discard anything that cannot be falsifiable.
I was pointing that creationism didn't came from scientific skepticism, it's only purpose is to serve a political and religious agenda.
Sorry, didn't wan't to give the impression of ad-populum, just pointing out, those other sects eventually gave out creationism and have accepted reality, only some US sects are still pushing creationism mainly for political purposes.
