Creationism
I have several Christians in my friends list who are all intelligent and consistent.

How many of you (christians and non-christians) believe in a creation story or believe generally in creationism?



I mean, don't get me wrong, I like the analogy for the world being created. I like a lot of the parables and stories that come from the dozens of creation stories, myths, and legends I have heard.

I also like imagining any of them being a symbol for the way things actually went down.

"Yeah, first there was nothing, then there was something. Then there was water. Then there was land. Then there were animals and then there were people. Then god(s)/goddess(es) took a nap."

I am not a scientist. I don't care how long each of these things took. I am inclined to believe it wasn't a handful of days. I am also inclined to believe that if one animal is similar to another, that it's possible that we are related.

I was not there when the Earth was created, however... I think you'd have to be gullible or stupid to believe that it's only 10,000 years old or less (barring intervention from some deity). Though that's not what's obvious. What's obvious is that Dinosaurs are really awesome.

I also don't care what sparked any sort of big bang or any thing similar. I don't care if god(s)/goddess(es) guided any sort of evolution.

I don't know where else I am going with this.
