I can’t help but wonder at the shallowness of the creationists. I’m sure it’s a lot easier to believe that God is some sort of magician who snapped his fingers 6,000 years ago and zap, there were Adam and Eve. Doesn’t it make GOd seem more impressive that we were created from ameobas and Dinosaur poo and evolved over billions of years? If you are a creationist, don’t you have to take the Bible literally, but then again, the Bible isn’t always consistent. I grew up hearing about the divine mystery of faith, but if you are a creationist and a literalist, where is the mystery?

The more strident literalists, I think, are sort of scared of a God who’s more complicated than they are.

As a religious person, I regret to inform them that them’s the breaks with any sort of religion more evolved than building shrines to volleyballs.
