Comment Science now confirms: Creationism is dying. (Score -1, Flamebait) 911
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Creationism community when
recently IDC confirmed that Creationism accounts for less than a fraction of
1 percent of all theories of existance. Coming on the heels of the latest Science
survey which plainly states that Creationism has lost more market share, this
news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Creationism is collapsing
in complete disarray, as further exemplified by
failing dead last in the recent science comprehensive
evolution test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Creationism's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Creationism faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Creationism because Creationism is dying. Things are looking very bad for Creationism. As many of us are already aware, Creationism continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. Big Bang is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Creationism leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of Creationism. How many users of Scientology are there? Let's see. The number of Creationism versus Scientology posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Scientology users. Evolution posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Scientology posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of Evolution. A recent article put Big Bang at about 80 percent of the Creationism market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Big Bang users. This is consistent with the number of Big Bang Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Christian Scientists, abysmal sales and so on, Big Bang went out of business and was taken over by New Scientist who sell another troubled theory. Now New Scientist is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house. All major surveys show that Creationism has steadily declined in market share. Creationism is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Creationism is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. Creationism continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Creationism is dead.
Fact: Creationism is dead
