Maybe some Christians should study their literature a little better and not force stuff down other people's throats when it is not requested. There are some extremely zealous Christian people that do more harm than good. I wish they'd realize this more often. If they are ignorant of facts, they should not take part in debates against people of higher intellect.

The argument Creationists propose is "But it can't be because of these inconsistencies" Creationists are skeptic. All science needs to adopt a skeptic nature. But one cannot be blind to established law, either. What is law?

The issue Atheists propose is "It is as such, because our data supports this theory..." Even if the theory is never made law (of course even laws can revert back to the previous status). If a theory is simply a theory, it is no greater than other theories, and should be taught in parallel with others. To the discretion of whatever school system takes it on. If you ask me, I don't think any of them should be taught in public schools if they aren't factual and unbiased. But what is, and what isn't?

Agnostics believe either side possible. But don't submit to either. I can certainly understand and respect that. There's a lot of crazy stuff out there, but that's why ya need to hit the books. This is why when I read on a sensitive subject such as molecular biology or another similar topic, I prefer the words of an agnostic, with the least amount of bias possible. I make my own decisions from there.

For me, I don't care what the heck you believe. I am not going to slam your head against the wall, and raise Hell. You already know It's there. It's YOUR choice. FWIW, that's a BIBLICAL philosophy!

If you don't believe in the Bible, then at least use it as guidance to follow natural law and order with the least amount of chaos: That's good enough for me.

I am biased towards Christianity. I am a Christian by faith, and faith alone. Sure I eventually arrived at that decision aided a lot of scrutinizing research. But still it comes down to FAITH! You aren't going to change my decision. But I again will emphasize that I am not going to try to change yours if you don't want it to. That's the difference.

Have a great day,
