Reply #8: i have sat in amazement. adults, educated adults tell me [View All]

that they believe in creationism. i didnt know this. i really didnt. my father argued with me the other night. it is just the last year i started listening to adults say they believe in this. my children went to a christian private school. i realized my son believed this. NO NO i tell him, lol. took 6 months for me to take him away from this. this is a child that at three was reading encyclopedias, on dinasaurs. saying what sense is it, htat there are dinasaurs, yet bible says planet is only 3562 years old. no sense

my educated friends i started challenging say, cant believe science. it is just a thoery. they cannot prove planet older. bullshit i say, rocks, bones, dna, facts are there. and they refuse

over the last couple months i have gotten harsh, i say there isnt a chance in hell you are going to teach my child an academic lie to validate your literal interpretation of bible. you are flat out lying to yourself to keep a story, a made up story going

this has been a big part of my argument with the people, good christians, that have taken over my life

i tell them, who are we to assume, god was working on 24/7 time scale. who the fuck knows. as far as i am concerned, one day to god, could be 10 billion years. i dont know. but i dont have to be challenge with creationism vs evolutionism. creationist on the otherhand have to tell self such a lie, to validate literal interpretation of bible

yes, adults allow themselves to believe this. another point

up to 2000 only about 14% took the story literally. since about 2002, it has risen to 25%, 38%, to 45% ....the last number i saw, 54% BELIEVED in creationism as a truth

amazing
