Reply #81: I take the Biblical creation story for what it is... [View All]

[deadparrot]

a document that was written by someone thousands of years ago, gone through numerous translations, and is present today, for better or worse. Frankly, I don't take much of the Bible literally. My "religion" of sorts is based on how I interact with other people and the world around me. Going apeshit over an idea as, well, presposterous, as the theory that God created the world in seven days (as we know the word "days" to mean now), is, I think, missing the point of spirituality. Creationists say evolutionists have "no proof," (in itself false) yet they are the ones that lack proof.

The higher power I believe in (whether it be a god/goddess or something else) created science. That's how I see it.

And then I believe in evolution. Completely and fully. Being a good person isn't based on following an X,000 year old book to the letter. It's about treating other people and things well.
