Well I'm not a Creationist but I'll answer anyway.
Age: 21
State: Florida
Marital Status: Single
Education level: 3 years of college, majoring in Integrative Biology.
Religious affiliation: None. I'm an atheist, perhaps a humanist.
Occupation: currently unemployed. Sometimes I sell plasma.
I'm between Materialistic Evolution and Philosophical Materialism because I feel that there is no proof that the supernatural does not exist, but there is also no reason for me to believe in it. I believe that the universe probably came along through natural processes.
When I was young I liked dinosaurs and was told that they lived millions of years ago. I've since learned in high school, college, and from books and websites that there is a lot of evidence supporting the current theories explaining how things came about through natural causes. I see no reason why the world would be only a few thousand years old. I've found no evidence that I should feel any other way. I try to think about matters such as religion in as logical a manner as possible, and have found no reason to follow a religion as though its teachings were scientific fact.

Sorry to make an off topic post, but how has your B.S. in Biology worked out for you? I'm a junior at the University of Florida majoring in Integrative Biology, and I'd like to know. Also, it seems that your education would conflict with a YEC standpoint - did you become a YEC after you graduated, or before? I apologize if I'm prying but I'm interested in knowing more about you.
