However, creationists reject all of this. According to creationism, humans sprouted fully-formed in our current state, as did all animal "kinds" (a term which creationists use instead of "species", but which is curiously undefined). In an attempt to co-opt the language of science (if not its methods), they even call it "Creation Theory", even though a scientific theory should allow one to derive specific predictions from a defined mechanism: something which is impossible for "Creation Theory".
Of course, none of this is a problem for creationism because it is not (despite its claims to the contrary) a scientific movement. It is a religiously motivated political movement, which is why they publish all of their "research" directly to the general public rather than letting other scientists subject it to peer review. Unfortunately, there are many kinds of arguments which are far more convincing to someone who struggled with grade 11 chemistry than someone who actually studied science at the university level, which is why creationism enjoys more than 50% support from the American public while languishing at less than 1% among scientists.

Stuart Davis was born in 1894 in Philidelphia. His father was the art editor of the Philidelphia press. When he was a little bit older his family moved to New Jersey. Later in his life he ended up leaving school to go to an art academy in New York City. He started out with watercolors and then began experimenting with collage, which was relatively new at the time. HIs collages were thought to be an early form of Pop art. He also enjoyed Cubisim, which was also a relatively new tecnique at the time. Stuart davis was one of the first artists to appreciate jazz. He used the bright colors like pinks and oranges and yellows to make his shapes appear to be dancing and to show jazzy rhythms. His last paintings of his life were mainly abstract words and symbols.
Stuart Davis's style was immediately eye catching. I love his busy and crazy style. It definately shows how fast paced the world is today. He experimented with many unique styles that show his uniqueness. I lovethe random words in his paintings and the very straight edge shapes all over the place. Stuart davis definately accomplished showing the rambunctiousness of the world we live in. He show's the enviornment of "American Life" which definately is vibrant and colorful rather than just flowery meadows or parks. his paintings are also supposed to show some sense of reality even though they are abstract. I think that is hard to see but
in the mellow pad, I have no idea why it's called the mellow pad but I love it. There's nothing mellow about it. It's crazy it shows very outstanding shape. I can identify every single shape in it. I think some of the colors and shapes could represent buildings and grafitti to show the reality of it Im not sure. even though it was painted in the 1940s it still could relate to the city today
