It's a legitimate question from someone who obviously doesn't understand the anwser. Why don't you try explaining it to them, instead of immediately assuming they are not capable of understanding.

There is ignorance and there's willful ignorance. If you're trying to bludgeon the other guy with what you can misunderstand or forget, that's willful. Information on evolution is publicly available and exists in abundance on this forum.

The posts of Phaedrus, gore3000, and most of the other leading C-siders on FR make the case that there is no making a doctrinaire creationist understand or even remember the existence of a single point against his position. The publications of ID-ers such as Behe and Johnson are simply attacks on the idea that we will ever understand complexity. ID-ers are cheerleaders for the gaps in our knowledge.

This is Ludditism dressed up. There is no information content in such alleged science unless you count the witch-doctor screech that reason is of no avail against magic as information.

IMHO, there are events in these peoples lives which changed them. That is the case with me. One day I'm riding down the road one of the most screwed up people on earth, I shout a prayer to God, to please take it because I can't anymore! Within the week, my life, and my attitude had changed. I did nothing on my own. There was nothing I could do.

Sorry if you consider this witnessing, but I'm trying to get the point across that some of us know, that we know, that we know, that God exists. Science cannot explain the changes that took place in me. Psychology can attempt to, but that's also just "liberal-doublespeak". I don't care how my brain is wired, I just KNOW someone wired it that way.

IT IS NOT lack of intelligence that allows us to believe these things. In fact, our intelligence tells us we will be hammered for believing. Debate is great, but the constant put-downs of others intelligence adds nothing to the process......
