My questions is for the people in the last category, the hardcore atheist/evolutionist.
Why do you assume atheist="evolutionist" (I hate the term evolutionist) or evolutionist=atheist?
Why do you take time out of your busy schedule to argue with creationists who you consider dumb, uneducated or just plain delusional?
Why does anyone do anything on the internet? Why do 4channers waste their time trolling people? I only say that to say this: why do you see what we do as a "waste of time"? For myself personally, if I could get one of the creo's to just stop and think for a minute, I won't have wasted any time at all. I personally could care less what religious folks do either in their own home or in their congregation, but when they try and push their beliefs on others, a problem arises.
If you categorize creationist beliefs out there with monsters and fairies why are you wasting your time here?
People who believe in monsters and fairies and ghouls and goblins DO NOT try and push their beliefs on MY children. They DO NOT try and get their beliefs taught as fact in the public arena.
Or do you spend time on other website debating the existence of monsters, fairies, aliens, crop circles and any other ridiculous belief you come across?
No, for the simple fact that there are people here who also have excellent educations for me to learn things from. EvC forums aren't simply a place to bash creo's. This is also a place to learn.
