Actually, this post is in reply to
another post in another thread, but I thought this would be a more appropriate place for a response.
I would like to point out a quote from the originating post of this thread:
So, what convinced you of evolution over any other religion? Were you just brought up with the theory of evolution? Does it just make sense to you? Were you forced into it because you refused to believe in a deity? Or are you just one of those, "Scientists thought of it...It must be true" kind of people?
Perhaps I am wrong, but the tone of these quotes seems to be that the only people who accept the theory of evolution are those who either were brainwashed as they were growing up, or who simply refuse to believe in the Bible. There were several responses in this thread from people who were initially creationists but who accepted evolution as they learned more. I can even add more detail to my story: I was a fundamentalist Baptist. I wanted to believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible. I fought against accepting evolution, I prayed to God to help me maintain my faith. In the end I had to admit that by the evidence and by logic the creation account in Genesis could not be the literal truth.
So, DaVxOr, are you going to admit that someone who looks at the evidence in a logical, reasoned, objective manner can accept the theory of evolution? Or are you convinced that people believe in evolution are simply dupes?
