In my opinion creationism, evolution and science need not be mutually exclusive.

They're not. We're being forced to play some game as if they are.

Evolution is science. Creationism is nothing but the wild imaginings of ancient human beings.

A supernatural being created the universe, the earth and people? Yeah, sure. It must have happened that way.

But I'm supposed to believe in some "big bang" theory or growing out of some tiny atom millions of years ago.

I could not care less what you choose to believe. Just stay out of the way when people who do know something about science set education or government policy.

You seem to "waste" a lot of time here on an issue that really, according to your worldview, and maybe that indicates something more, subconsciously on your behalf. Just sayin'.

Atheists really have brought it upon themselves as far as the majority of Americans looking at them in a negative light.
...
There's a reason the atheist crowd comes off as a bunch of condescending, pessimistic, negative Grinches.

So what's the consensus on where in line the rhetoric falls around here?
anti.

And there are a lot of pseudo-Christians around here that get lumped in with Christianity. There are very few Christians on this board that would agree with Christianity as it's been taught for 2000 years.

Aaaaand once again we get treated to someone deciding who is and who isn't a Christian.

Breaking news: God is still in His heaven and YOU don't get to decide.

Whatever. There was a question asked, and I answered. If you don't agree....fine.
