See, we do have common ground. Like you said, you do have much to learn. I'm glad we could agree. As for my "minority opinion", I would not be too sure about that one.
Regards.

I suppose there are places someone like you wouldn't be a minority. Conservababes.com comes to mind. Nevertheless, my impression is that literal young-Earth creationism is a small but very loud movement which must rely on a high decibel volume of activism from its participants.

A freeper named Godel once polled crevo-thread participants for their views on evolution, up or down. It was set up on a web site with a link to it from an FR thread. Evolution won far more handily than the casual impression of some of these threads would convey.

(Actually, I suspect a count of this thread would show more evo posters than creo, but with a hard core of creo posters making lots and lots and lots of posts, exactly what Godel's poll suggests. But other threads have looked like a creo high-fiving party.)

Another funny thing about that poll. Two freepers tried to jam the poll with hundreds of votes. Both were creos. That's not a shock for people familiar with these discussions. You can't whip up that sort of activism without some people going too far.

Indeed, we do have common ground, you have much to learn about your bible so that you will realize that it is a spiritual book, NOT a literal one.

Then again, a lot of people are just too lazy to REALLY read the bible and take it literally because it's easier that way.

Well, perhaps someday you will learn the TRUE value of the bible and stop being lazy and learn to ACTUALLY read it.

Yes, you have MUCH to learn.
