Our sun is one of around 200 billion stars just in the Milky Way galaxy alone. How many other galaxies and billions of stars beyond that? we'll really never know
In this little corner of the universe we are the third rock from this sun... on this particular rock there are 19 major world religions which are subdivided into a total of 270 large religious groups, and many thousands of smaller ones. Among these various faith groups, there are probably at lease 500 different creation stories to draw from -- all different.
Creationism is one of the approximately 500 religious belief systems described above, and is very popular among conservative Christians. They believe that the earth, its current life forms, and the rest of the universe were created by God, less than 10,000 years ago. Only very minor changes within various species have happened since creation; no new species have evolved or been created. This belief system is mainly promoted by people who believe in the inerrant truth of the Hebrew Scriptures (a.k.a. Old Testament) when interpreted LITERALLY.
Such blessed life forms are we, who are so lucky to be born on this little rock. But even that doesn't guarantee salvation... luckily we stumbled on the bible belt of Americana... for any other path you choose you are doomed to burn in hell for eternity... yes, it's all this simple. Just announce your conversion to THEIR particular version of reality and you have your pass card to the pearly gates of heaven... you can even go out and commit various sins once you are "saved", because you have that "pass card"... you are in "the club"
DAMN! that makes perfect sense
