Actually, you're comparing apples and oranges. Microbiological creatures are not a matter of opinion. They are testable, verifiable, falsifiable, etc.

Evolution on the other hand is not.....it is opinion. Imo, probably best for a philosophy class.

Uh huh. I presume you feel the same way about sub-nuclear physics, plate tektonics, and galactic astronomy. When was the last time you experienced continental drift, or stellar nuclear fusion, first-hand?

You are forgetting your own sarcasm....you suggested that those backward religious folks see diseases being caused by their immorality and not by a microbiologic world.

And I said that those folks have no problem believing in that which is verifiable. But when what they're asked to believe in contradicts a basic premise of faith, then they will believe God over believing some egghead with letters after his name.

Would you mind telling me how plate tectonics contradicts us po lil ignorant folk's faith in God?
