Mike says,
quote:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not even against [evolution] anymore, I'm just Christian, so I see both sides a bit more clear. But I am confident in my mind, that some here are so against the other side that they would refute truths even if they knew it was truth. And don't lie, because I've done it myself. Go on, you know it, some issues you would go against as you are simply "for" them whether they are true or not.
This merely sounds like projection. Believers such as yourself aren't concerned with the effect of disconfirming evidence on their long-held beliefs, while rational people can't ignore such evidence. The very existence of 'religious mysteries' such as the Trinity is meant to make sure followers believe in something they cannot rationally affirm. If you're convinced God has something to do with biology, you'll squeeze Him in there regardless of how unnecessary or inappropriate it is to do so.
regards,
Esteban Hambre
