Evolution = proven fact, creationism = biased religious fodder!


I remember having an argument as an eight year old, about evolution with my farther. I remember how he used to insist on the biblical account, the noahs arc story and such. It wasnt convincing to me then as an eight year old, and its definitly not convincing to me now as a twenty two year old. The theory of Evolution with reams of evidence backing it, remained ingrained in my mind.What disturbs me though is the fact that there are still to this day religious people debating it and downright denying it. Better yet they teach 'creationism' at many secondary schools as part of the education in the US. I see that as complete and utter obliviousness to a proven theory.Its a magnificantly stupid idea based upon the biblical account. Creationism states that everything has a creator 'god' and that mankind had only been around for five thousand years!! I just think that its a crime against the young impressionable minds, that get brainwashed into ludicrous faith based ideas such as creationism. It is both primitive and ignorant, not to mention based upon a religious doctrine. A piece of literature which is biased by the very nature of it being what it is! Biblical history if you could call it that, is good if sold as a fiction novel, poorly written at that but a ficticious biased book nevertheless. Nothing else, nothing more! Call me ignorant but i refuse to even debate something as meaningless and unproven as creationism, evolution on the other hand remains just as convincing as it did when i was a young child! Isnt that a surprise!
