Re: I am still waiting too, better not hold my breath though
Hey there menes777.
Strict creationists wear blinders, you know. Maybe not visibly, but they're there. I was never this way--I've been a skeptic for as long as I can remember, but that's not to say I've never believed in the flud (or a real, historically valid Genesis). But I believe I was in 7th grade or so when I started to look at things and say, "Hey, rationally and reasonably, this stuff can't be true. Unless you include the unfalsifiable caveat of magic, of course." Repeat, I was in 7th grade!
I'm not sure where the logical disconnect comes in. It surely has something to do with education, as the less educated will experience less exposure to real, honest-to-goodness evidentiary data. But the true moments of incredulousness, as far as I'm concerned, is when you have educated creationists who, to the evolutionists' chagrin, seem to require a willful suspension of disbelief when they consider the evidence that is staring them in the face. It's truly staggering.
You're right. It doesn't add up.
Have a good one.
