Well, I lived most of my life thinking that creationism is dead. In my culture, you are more credible believe in Santa claus, I am not being an a-hole, I am just saying. So excuse me for thinking creationists are lunatics, to say it nicely. Since I started using Internet, imagine my shock realizing creationists still exists, in 21st century Its sad.
And most of them really exists in English speaking countries, like USA. I wondered why is that, and I think I might came up with the answer. In English, it is called THEORY of evolution. That scientific Englsih expression - theory. Theory in science stands for explanation that is backed by scientific method. But some people, just see word theory, and realize that not believing in it is credible.
It is not credible at all. Evolution is proven fact. -

The problem here is that they are purposely ignorant as to what a scientific theory is. It may be because they watch too many detective shows and think that the Theory of Evolution is "only a guess".
To make matters worse, I just saw Questioning Darwin, an HBO movie. One of the real people in the movie flat stated that he would believe 2 + 2 = 5 if it said so in the bible. There is no way to change a mindset like that. -

Yeah, thats just sad. Interesting thing is, that those who are most passionate about Bible, are the most ignorants about the subject itself. If you ever did any reading or studied religious studies, you know the bible is the book of metaphors and stuff. To read a genesis book, which is a flat out fairy tale, and take it literally, is not only sad, its offensive to sensible Christians as well. You know nothing about the bible if you take every word literally. You are just a nut at this point.

i am so sorry about the anger that i can feel in your words. i believe in god, but nevertheless, i cannot understand your anger. people have opinions and everyone is different. evolution is only a theory and that should not make us mad. Like gravitation is only a theory, but what puzzled newton was that everything falls. darwin was a very religious man. and he struggled for what he saw. the movie has many faults, but this really happened. just ignoring other people's opinion makes us exactly what we claim other people are. i pray you realize that your anger is yours and yours alone. the fact that there are more creationists today than ever before does not make evolution unreal. it's only a theory and i respect your opinion and i would hear it anytime

Spare us the persecution complex. You can't even use proper grammar.
