In what backwoods podunk shithole did you have a creationist "professor?" What were they even ostensibly teaching?

I had a "Creationism vs evolution" class because I did one semester at a religious college before realizing I wasn't religious. It was about what'd you'd expect, and no, the credit didn't transfer to a real college

I've seen anecdotal stories of geologists who claimed they were creationists. The brain is an amazing thing.

Isn't it the other way around? Creationists claiming to be geologists?

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

I suppose, but the point is they do a job that requires them be knowledgeable of the science, and yet can compartmentalize things to do that but also have beliefs that run very much against what they observe in reality. Hell, geology was a science born from creationists trying to find evidence of the Flood, who then chose to go the path that the data took them, not the Bible.

Is this a real thing (outside of the US)?

I went to high school in rural Mississippi and had a creationist biology teacher. We quickly touched on what the textbook had to say about evolution, then spent the next week or so watching this video series on various species with symbiotic relationships and how some of them could not have possibly evolved without the other. And it was a public school. Knowing what I know now, I should have told him to stick his illegal proselytizing up his ass and just spent his class period studying in the library.
