The declaration, spearheaded by the Global Interfaith Commission on LGBT+ Lives, also calls for an end to violence and criminalization against L.G.B.T.Q. people. “We recognize that certain religious teachings have, throughout the ages, been misused to cause deep pain and offense to those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex,” the commission said in a statement. “This must change.” https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-55326461 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/16/world/conversion-therapy-pledge.html The More You Know The common idea is that Creationism is the belief that all of the elements of the natural world were created, in their present state, by a supernatural acts by divine forces.
