“I remember not too many years ago, my girlfriend loved this singer Geoff Moore. He had this song bashing evolution.”
I can’t find a review of that song, but apparently he redefines ‘evolution’ to be spiritual growth? That’s what impressed you?
“ That was actually one of the catalystits for me looking into evolution. Frankly, that song P.O.d me!”
Piss Off-ed me?
“I got into debaqtes with creationists over it”
Really? They debated you because you… ‘got into’ evolution?
“and it angered me they were so stupid. But I didn't have hard facts to support evolution, only questions they couldn't answer."
That sounds like a creationist tactic…no facts, just open ended questions and declaring victory.
“So I researched it so I could finally shut them up. Only to find that although they couldn't answer my questions, I couldn't support my evolutionary belifes with any facts that I could stand behind.”
So, wait. You DEBATED evolution first, THEN studied it, DIDN’T find any facts, but still had questions THEY couldn’t answer…
And you… BELIEVED in evolution?
I don’t believe in it. I accept it as the currently held theory. But ‘belief’ isn’t the word I’d use.
“In the end, I found they were unlearned in it, but right.”
If they still can’t answer your ‘questions,’ how in the fuck do you determine they’re right?
I really can’t find anything in this anecdote that I trust as a fact. Have you ever had a girlfriend?
