Before you go back to the real world....
This entire topic has been interesting to me. As a longtime member of this site, I rarely get into arguments over evolution, because that aspect of science bores me. I am one of the religious nuts that you say you were raised around.

Im going to pause now for people to think...
Put yourselves in my shoes. After all the bs, abuse and lies from religion growing up and the same now from this forum. Out numbered by grown men seeminly unable to provide me any accurate references and ridiculing me for not accepting them. Are you accepting these references as fact? Are you accepting the convoluted babble that was pushed on me at that stage???
Your shoes are quite painful! Mine hurt too, sometimes. What you have stumbled into is a debate site and discussion board with a bunch of cronies from different backgrounds. Some of us argue with each other all of the time just to relieve boredom, so I don't blame you at all for wanting to leave and get back to your homework.
Now you have met some of us. Perhaps we gave a bad impression. After reading this topic, I do see that some of our scientific minds did try and steer you...but it was unclear exactly what you wanted to know or how you expected to be treated. My advice? Get back to your studies. live life. Learn about human nature from everyone you meet. And I welcome you to stop back in now and then...even to pick a fight and relieve stress. Each of us has our pet arguments and debates. Have a good life!

As no one here is capable of perspective I will spell out the point...
Oh by the way, I see you have met Tangle.
He and I come from two very diametrically opposed viewpoints---he being an atheist who is science based and I being a believer who is faith based, though often my faith is in fantasy! My point is that Tangle and I get along despite our clear differences.
Hope you have some good friends at the college you are attending.
Around here, we are all internet friends at best.
