LIES CREATIONISTS TELL - "Evolution is a religion" or
"science is a religion"

Claim: "Those who rely on science do so out of faith, just as

do religious proponents." Assertions that evolution or any
science has any similarity to religion is again creationist
nonsense. Evolution has no required beliefs, nor prohibited
beliefs, but that is what religions are all about. When
someone affirms a tenet of religion, they are in essence
taking a vow of ignorance as it limits freedom of thought.
Hallmarks of religion are beliefs in supernatural entities or

events, a 'spirit' capable of surviving death in an afterlife,
inerrancy of scriptures, etc. However much such beliefs may
be comforting to religious proponents, they are not supported
by any evidence. Science neither affirms nor denies such
beliefs. The fact that it does not affirm their personal
beliefs is what incurs the ire of fundamentalist religious
proponents.

Neither does any area of science recognize authorities. Truth
is established by EVIDENCE, not by what anyone says. It
wouldn't matter whether ones name was Albert Einstein,
Stephan Hawking or Stephan Hawking. Those scientists and
others knew that if they did not have evidence, they had
nothing.

LIES CREATIONISTS TELL - About evolution. Creationists often
characterize evolution as "one animal turning into another"
Like a dog giving birth to a cat, or a horse to a camel or
some other such monstrosity. which is nonsense. Not only does
the Theory of Evolution not predict any such thing, it would

actually DISPROVE evolution is that were to happen.
Nonetheless, that persists as the creationist's favorite
straw man argument (a logical fallacy)...
