15. I don't know how I could believe in either religion or atheism.
Both are unsubstantiated claims in my opinion. I'm not speaking out against evolution (I think plain common sense and the scientific research on this subject speaks for itself), but how could anyone say with any degree of certainty that a God or Creator did or did not exist? There is no evidence to support either claim. I think we need to own up to the fact that we just don't know. There's nothing wrong with not knowing, the problem comes in when people think they know but have no facts to back up their claims. Any thoughts?
