I am not sure that every creationist belief, opinion, judgment, inference, position, notion,
concept, impression, perception, etc. can be written off as superstition. Although I am
a professed atheist, it is quite possible that I am still a superstitious person, in some
ways, or in some of my beliefs. The American Heritage Desk Dictionary defines
"superstition" as "a belief that some action not logically related to a course of events
influences its outcome". Is a belief that free human actions -- which actions are not
logically related to a course of events -- can somehow directly influence the outcome
of that course of events a superstitious belief? Is the belief in human freedom a
superstitious belief?
There is some good science, and some bad science, in the creationist belief-system.
I do not say that every creationist is a crazy mother-knocker, because I do not believe
that every creationist is a crazy mother-knocker.
"Concerning great things one should either be silent or speak loftily."
-- Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
