What are two reasons why people don't like creationism?

Answer 1

Answer: There are probably many more than two reasons why people don't like creationism, some of which would include the following:

1. They believe evolution to be true, whether or not they have examined its scientific flaws.

2. They have been put off creationism by the many false caricatures of what creationism is, including the ridicule that is cast continuously against it.

3. They have a commitment to Atheism and so cannot include God or the supernatural even though evolution itself involves "belief in what I cannot prove" according to atheist Richard Dawkins and is a religion according to evolutionist Michael Ruse.

4. They don't want to question what they have been taught as fact.

5. They are afraid of being in a minority.

6. They need to believe in evolution in order to not suffer discrimination in employment: this has been well documented in such works as "Slaughter of the Dissidents" by Dr. Jerry Bergmann and in the documentary "Expelled..." by Ben Stein.

Answer 2

1) They have been taught evolution, not Creation. 2) Some people don't like the notion of being responsible to God.

Evolution through random mutations may be understood as implying that life is an accident, that perceived beauty and wisdom are ultimately purposeless, and that our instinctive yearning for the Eternal is just an electrical impulse in our brain.

The narrative of Divine Creation, which is contained in Genesis ch.1 and 2, states that God created the universe. This teaches us that God exists, that our lives and the world are not random, and that the created things may be assumed to contain vast wisdom in their beautiful and purposeful design. (In recent decades, this wisdom has indeed been partially revealed, through increasingly powerful microscopes.)
