"Then why are you here?" I was responding to the person who pinged me here, to see the predictable degeneration of a thread. - I learned a long time ago that evolution belief was more of a religion than creationism, so arguing with an evo is guaranteed to be an emotional exercise. Don't have time for it.

"I learned a long time ago that evolution belief was more of a religion than creationism"
How could you possibly believe that in all honesty? I understand that hyperbole comes into play on these sorts of threads, but that comment doesn't even slightly ring true. I guarantee you, if a new theory, supported with a solid base of facts came around, many of the science fanatics would be go hung for it. They love new theories! A religeon starts with an answer, science starts with a question.

I learned a long time ago that evolution belief was more of a religion than creationism The only way that this old saw can be made true is to stretch the definition of "religion" so far that it becomes a redundant synonym for "something believed to be true".
By the usual meanings of the word, however, belief in evolution can hardly be called a religion.
