Actually it wasn't a personal insult at all, i wasn't calling anyone defective. I'm sorry if some people view it as such. I was simply pointing out that the accumulation of scientific information today and the rate in which it is being discovered is disproving weaker theories for mans or the worlds existance on a daily basis. In light of information which is now becoming known to the general public you would have to be completly biased or just plain ignorant to deny what is being discovered now. Even main stream scientists, whom have always been ardent evolutionists, are now begining to question what they have always believed in. If main stream scientists are questioning what they are seeing, there has got to be something to the oppositions argument. Isn't it worth listening to? So, yes, to ingore the evidence and still believe the world was created by a big-bang or that man came from a rock produced by some type of primordal soup, given what we now know about genetics, astronomy and physics, you would have to be a complete idiot to continue arguing for a dead theory. Yet people do???? It's impossible to make sence of the world with out some type of creative intervention.
Yes, believing or not believing in God is a personal issue, but it dosen't mean that it's not gonna affect you on a personal level someday. I don't believe this is the kind of thing which can be ignored either, if you are wrong you had better be right about your theory, don't you agree? Otherwise there is a fairly steep price to pay for being wrong. I maintain that someday it will be proven wheather God exists or wheather he dosen't. On that day, some people will eat crow and some will not. So i think it's better to be sure than to argue for the sake of argument.
Obviousy, the woman who wrote this paper has seen through the lies she was told for years and made a conscience decision that she wasn't being honest with herself. To me this speaks volumes about her character and i would tend to give her the benifit of the doubt when she says there is something to this God thing. I think the question should now be "what is it that she seen or knows that the rest of us have missed?" Because what ever it was it has made a significant impression on her, enough of an impression to turn her entire life upside down and be ridiculed for her beliefs now, even from people she once called her friends.
