Well, a few minutes away made me already feel like I overreacted, so for that I'm sorry. Yes, the creationist comment bugged me. And reading some of your comments about the USA bugged me too. But again, I apologize. I know there are numerous ideas about the creation of the earth, from the purely religious and devoid of scientific, to the purely scientific absent of any religious thought. I don't much care for folks who talk about the religious as idiots, and your comment first struck me that way. Even if that was how you meant it, I shouldn't have reacted so quickly. In any case, if you do feel that way, I'd rather not read about it. I consider myself very religious and scientific, and not too stupid either. I'd love to hear your perspective.
No your clearly not stupid. Well firstly, I must state that I'm not religious at all. It's just not the way I have been brought up. I know the difference between right and wrong, and(I like to think) I'm a morally good person. But Religion wasnt fundamental in shaping the person I've become. It hasn't taught me about ethics. Religious Education at school was usually the class me and my friends at the time would bunk off (play truant). I do believe in Evolution though. The evidence for it is there and through geology it has been proven with fact the age of the earth. Im sorry I can't give you a more comprehensive response darth_ender but religion isn't a subject that really interests me a great deal.
