You're welcome.

Now when I read stupid theories etc.

Ranting again.

Asserting that the theory is "stupid" doesn't make you look intelligent. It makes you look like you don't have a real argument.

If you think that the theory is flawed, state what you think is flawed. Calling it "stupid" without any further elaboration does not make the theory look weaker, it makes you look weaker.

will try to be calm and just think what I think.

You do that. Just don't expect us to believe that you've thorougly debunked 150 years of scientific research just because you say that it is "stupid".

Like how can a mature human not believe in Biblical things yet believe all the trash about evolution.

Why is evolution trash? Be specific.

In both cases it is "faith",no?

No. Evolution is backed by quite a bit of physical evidence. Biblical things -- specifically the supernatural elements -- are not supported through physical evidence and, unlike evolution, cannot be subjected to tests and have no stated falsification criteria.

I prefer to read non-stupid theories, actually, like evolution.

Which "trash" would that be, exactly?

In both cases it is "faith",no?

No. Accepting evolution does not require "faith", it requires familiarity with the evidence, understanding of the process involved, and knowledge.
