Please don't adopt liberal talking points.
It is entirely possible for intelligent people with full information to come to different conclusions.
Don't go Dem on us. Please don't adopt the idea that because someone disagrees with you (is a Creationist/Evolutionist) they must not fully understand, or they must not be all that smart, or they just don't grasp the evidence, etc.
It is possible to be an intelligent "Creationist." Sometimes people just read the evidence differently.
Like when they thought the earth was flat.
Would you extend the same latitude to flat-Earth proponents?
If anything, Evolution only strengthens my belief in God.
The more Science uncovers the more intricate and complicated the universe seems.
We as human beings have to come to grasp the idea, the fact, that there must something greater than ourselves.
A belief in God is not ignorant. It is enlightenment. While we may continue to uncover the mechanisms of it all, how evolution works, how the universe operates, there is still the lingering question of, why.
Certainly it's possible to be an intelligent creationist; I personally have met many such people. However, it's just as certain that the theory of evolution is not, in and of itself, an attempt to replace God. Some people may see it as such and may even be trying to use it as such, but evolution says nothing at all about God. Your fight (and mine because it tends to foster a destructive and combative anti-science attitude) is with those who try to use theories such as evolution to somehow prove that God does not exist. Evolution says no such thing and this is a complete misuse of evolution. I would fight those who do this as much as you would.
"It is possible to be an intelligent "Creationist." Sometimes people just read the evidence differently."
No, it isn't. Not if you understand the evidence. Not if you research and examine all the evidence honestly.
There are such things as objective facts. There are such things as objective evidence. All the evidence - all of it - points to a 4.5 billion year old Earth, and that allele frequncies change in populations over time.
