Do creationists accept that concept at all? Otherwise, I see a lot of reasons why they would cringe. In the event they do accept genes, since they do not believe in evolution, then there still is matter for them to react (how comes some people are "evolved" or "elected" as Suho pointed out). Other than that, and that's maybe the main thing I see: creationists would question anything that questions a frail belief, methinks. Any new scientific fact carries a potential risk for something these people WANT to believe in. As a christian who spontaneously evolved towards other beliefs, I think creationnists and "extremely firm believers" want to believe and that it serves a purpose in theyre vision of life. It gives it a meaning, and gives a meaning to all the hurt and pain and feelings and sorrow one goes through during a lifetime. I read some about emotional responses and the hormonal system some time ago, and I strongly think this "need to believe" exists in strong believers as a NEED, they wouldn't cope without it. Therefore, I do "buy" the possibility of a gene that would impact this kind of addiction. My 2 cents. Loading...
