while its right that creationism isnt equal to the bible it is connected with religion so it is either christianity, islam or pick the religion of your choise here.

creationism is based on the fact that god exists and that he/she/it had the time and will to create the universe.


remembering a nice quote that compared religion with science:
1.) the observable fact: a river is moving along a terrain

2.) sollution one: religion.... we can claim that the reason the river moves how it moves is because of something called "spirit of the river" a holy power or some sort of supernatural god will. this makes the river bend and stream and break his way thru the landscape

3.) sollution two: science.. we know different physical forces have an impact on anything arround so as a result a river has to stream thru the landscape to reach the sea.

4.) observable fact: if we take away, adjust or alter those physical forces the stream will change.
removing all phyiscal impact also will transform the river from a river into a mess of particles

5.) conclusion: if removing the so called "spiritual river" doesnt have any impact or doesnt change anything (the river stays a river and doesnt change at all) chances are very good that something like a river spirit is not existent in first place.

intelligent design has one big problem and is a risk to religion: if evolution can be proved with one single fact this would kill god.
religion that does not interact with science has the benefit that even a solid evolution can go hand in hand with religion.

this is only for the claim of "irrational" superstition evolution should look like if creationists are comparing both of them.


about the living forms extracted from the habitat and placed into an isolated enviroenment (the bird and nest issue):
it has been shown more then often that animals included into different environments and raised by other species will addapt their behavior.

its important to understand what instincts are. the instinct we and the bird share is not to build a house but to achive shelter.
depending on our limitations and boundries we and the bird tries to achieve the best to get as much shelter as possible...or better said: the best shelter available for our needs.

Its not a dna code that makes us build the empire state building. If this would be fact humans would have the same sort of houses since genesis

If the birds would grow thumbs they would start to build doorbells and door handles.
also its observable that different bird types build other nests if they are placed as a minority (one or two) into another swarm right from the start.

example: birds caged from their birth and released later on are building different types of nests if they dont have contact with their own species.
A thing disovered during the age of sail and colonialsim.

so the instinct tells them to build shelter. but the result depends on their approach and "social" contacts.

take humans for example: the development of architecture is so different from region to region (take the ancient times) and this even though no other species is as communicative as the human one.
