Only in your own mind, where apparently you think that evolution = atheism

Nope never said that! In fact I'm not too sure they both can't be believed. Too much evidence for both. I'm not about to guess how God was able to do it, but it's certainly not beyond the realm of possibility that both are true in ways far beyond my ability to comprehend.

I was simply agreeing with the poster who said we literally choose what we want to believe. It's as simple as that----a matter of choice. I mean when it comes down to it there are really only 3 choices----Creationism, Evolution or somehow a combination of the two. Maybe I'm missing a fourth choice, but don't know what it would be. If it's out there I'm sure someone will mention it.

Then why did you seem to agree with patriot_wes, who implied exactly that?

Is it, really? Could you actually "choose" to believe that Santa Claus is real? If you did, would that be actual belief, or just pretending that you believed? Could you "choose" to stop believing in something that you currently believe in strongly?
