Good logic, TC.
rsmith enters the discussion biased against all those who have chosen creation with an open mind because of the evidence. He has just flamed alot of people and, if he previously had any good points to talk about, those who were offended by his post will not now listen to them. tsk, tsk.
I'm not very offended, however, and if he has any points to talk about other than the skulls theory, which is very flimsy, i'd still be willing to listen to him.

The only example I'd be able to provide would be myself. And I'd get into the whole life story thing, but I'd bore you. Let me only say that I didn't want to follow my parent's viewpoints, which were entirely Christian, so I chose to do whatever I wanted to do. My dad gave me a book to read - "The Case for Faith" by Lee Strobel. That's my weakness - i like to read - and so I read it. It totally changed the way I saw evolution. The evidence for Christ's resurrection, the evidence against evolution such as irreducible complexity, the mathematical improbability of creating life by chance, and other things made me realize that I wasn't doing myself a favor by believing in evolution. It was doing my mind a disservice to believe in a lie. After considering this, I was still doubtful, but I ended up calling on God, and he answered me, and still does to this day.
I didn't call him a troll, I merely stated that his post probably insulted some very intelligent minds on this message board.
