Let me clarify a couple of points.
#1) I went through the whole believing in evolution nonsense. Bought that crap for ten years. But the more I thought about it, the less sense it made, on the other hand, I read the Bible and it made perfect sense.
#2) Many people have a shallow understanding of what they believe and why they believe. Such people are easily persuaded to pop culture feel good fads. They are the ones who you say, "What difference does it make, we all worship the same God, right?" and they agree because they don't know any better. They will say they are Christians if you ask them, but they little or no clue what that means.

This is priceless. You've rejected evolution because it's just so farfetched and ridiculous, but the Bible with its omniscient being and and miracles and all it's internal inconsistencies makes more sense to you?stahrwe wrote:Let me clarify a couple of points.

Let me ask (against my better judgment), do you, in fact, reject all science, or only the bits that conflict with your religion? Also, do you get a flu shot every year?

Re: Great Show, Lousy Argument
There's the book for you, Stahrwe.stahrwe wrote: . . .
Nonetheless, it's not a bad book. Read it for the beautiful descriptions of the natural world, and for its fairly convincing argument for common descent. If you want an argument against ID, the best I have found so far is Michael Shermer's Why Darwin Matters: The Case Against Intelligent Design.

Stah: "I've seen a lot of people's lives ruined by junk science."
What does pseudoscience have to do with your rejecting the fact of evolution to believe in magic? Do you mistakenly equate pseudoscience with science? The superstitious beliefs and lack of critical thinking that pervades most of society are found primarily amongst YEC's, then amongst pseudoscientists.
