OK, I posted this on Talk.origins, and got little response there so I thought I'd see if I got a better response here. I originally posed the question about whether there were any former creationists who converted and someone made a good point that I should also ask if there are any former evolutionists out there?
I don't know if I've ever met a former evolutionist though, but here are my questions for them if there are any out there (and I promise not to start a flame war, at least not within this topic):
1. How much evolution had you studied before you became a creationist?
2. What specific fact was it that convinced you that evolution was wrong and creationism was right?
3. Which came first, your conversion to Christianity or your conversion to Creationism?
4. How did your friends and relatives react?
Bear in mind, this is not a question for creationists in general, but only those who converted at a later time in their lives. I know that there are a lot of "born again" Christians out there who became "saved" as adults. So tell us about your conversion to Creationism/Fundamentalism, and everyone else, don't shoot them down, just listen for once. It should be interesting reading.

Well, I'm getting some interesting responses, but not what I was actually hoping for. It does appear that once one studies evolution and understands it that few if any go back to creationism. Perhaps I should post this question on BaptistBoard.com and get some real responses.
I'd be curious though, Tranquility, what did your father find under the Microscope that convinced him that evolution wasn't true?
