Re: Perhaps a good analogy
I don't think that Faith has the ability to understand much.
It is an interesting subject for normal people, though.
The first comment is simply a personal-attack, and is totally uncaused it seems, it seems to come out of thin air, an atheist being mean-spirited just for the sake of being mean-spirited. Perhaps insulting people is your attempt to show you have superior morality? Oops, I guess that's to shoot yourself in the foot then.
The term, "normal people", is used as a question-begging-epithet, because it implies that Faith is not normal.
This means you have to define normal for us. Are you implying that it is abnormal to not accept that a primordial, fictional lifeform emerged from a swamp and gave rise to fleas, peas, cheese, bees and hairy knees? Let me get this right, I have to believe in a fictional swamp, a fictional earth and a fictional lifeform. I also have to believe in fictional pre-seahorses, pre-bats, pre-pterosaurs, pre-starfish, pre-jellyfish, pre-apes, pre-platy-pi, pre-Ichtyhosaurs, pre-dugongs, pre-manatees, pre-dragon flies, pre-winged beetles, pre-ants, pre-spider, pre . basically pre-everything. Everything that depends on 0% fossil evidence, which means I would still be typing, "pre-X species" come Christmas 2020.
I call them, "fictional" because as far as I can tell, I have to imagine these things existed.
Sign me up for the, "abnormal" group right now then. Lol.
