It's an unbelievable stunt being played up in fundamentalist land now: That intelligence and logic are core to Christian beliefs and, and this is the real lame part, only Christian nations have rose to technological and democratic accomplishments.
It's an echo chamber thing with them now, I'm thinking they know we see through it as historical rewrite but it makes their flock feel just a little more superior again, it's common for creationists to praise the flock for being smart enough to,,,well,,,be the flock. Taking credit for secular advancements, the Enlightenment, democracy and technology is a huge warping of the Churchs plan, suppression of knowledge, subjectivity, and restriction of the inventive mind. The last tech you guys created was dark ages torture devices.
"no philosophical system besides Christianity has been able to account for knowledge"
Complete lie, if you push them on it they'll eventually end at their trump point of "nothing would exist without God.
I blame William Laing Craig for being the particular lieing asshole who's popularized this shit, he's the main idiot infusing creationism with philisophical double talk. Philophosy, like religion never carries absolute answers and Craigs game is just doing what religions have always done: condemned beliefs and practices until they proved useful, then claiming them as their invention.
Anyone that's cruised this site for a few years has seen hundred of uninformed attempts of Fundamentalists in particular trying to claim the church invented schools, hospitals, democratic concepts and the freedoms enjoyed in the western world.
The examples of commonplace things in our lives that origionated in other, non-Christian cultures are numerous, the advancements of the last 500 years are heavily dependant on our merging of foreign ideas with ours. Philophosy being itself rooted in ancient China, India and Roman/Greco pre-Christian days.
