My original point was the religious faith was spread primarily through young people. One example of an adult who finds faith is not sufficient to refute my claim. If it were the norm for adults to find faith, then they would change faiths regularly, but that is rare. Faith is primarily taught in the home, and it sticks to people like their language does. That's why faith is associated with geographic regions, like language.
you will find a number of pro-Evo posters who stated that their knowledge and acceptance of Darwin's model and subsequent refinements to it did not interfere with their faith AT ALL.
I was one of those, up until the day it did interfere. I've been in these threads a long time.
I therefore have shown that you HAVE no intellectual honesty
Insults do not put your arguments forward. You have shown nothing but that is possible for someone in the dark to see the light of truth. Christianity is like every single other religion on Earth, a fantasy. (that was one of the arguments that swayed me, in that it was unlikely that I was one of the minority lucky ones that had the *right* faith, and all the others were wrong). Those who think they are above other faiths with the one true knowledge of God are the arrogant ones. I no longer have any knowledge of a *true* God to be proud of.
I know that most all of the fun was *feeling* superior to believers
I feel no superiority. I've lost an ability I once had to have faith. If I feel anything, it is anger at those who forced me to face reality, because an imaginary faith is a more satisfying way to live a life. I'm not advocating you rethink your faith, only cease attacking science.
If I have a goal on these threads, it is to persuade believers to leave evolution alone. Attacking science from a position of ignorance only makes Christians appear foolish, and drives away people like myself. Have faith in Jesus if you can, but stop preaching creationism, because no good can come of it.
Your post will be carefully read and digested before replying--I just wanted to prod you a couple of times to find your buttons.
Generally that gets reticent posters to explain what their mindset is, which then allows conversation. :-)
Cheers!
...oh, and Merry Christmas.
Because if THAT crumbles you've NOTHING left???
(BTW - it's not SCIENCE that's being 'attacked' - but EVOLUTION)
