Claim CH010.1:

Learning creationism stimulates mental health, because it is consistent with people's innate thoughts; joy, from scientific discovery; and morals, because it promotes awareness of a creator to whom one must give account.

Source:

Morris, Henry M., 1974. Scientific Creationism, Green Forest, AR: Master Books, p. 14.

Response:

  1. These claims have no support. There are healthy, joyful, and moral people who accept evolution as well as who are creationists. There are unhealthy, unhappy, and immoral people among creationists.

    The claims have no logical basis, either:
  2. Reading the Talk.origins feedback gives the impression that learning creationism stimulates anger and defensiveness.
