People who dont understand evolution/natural selection

[-Mephisto-]

Retards or just in denial?

I can't decide.

Some people are REALLY fucking stupid. Some even call evolution "atheists god".

Can any ex-religious types tell me if you were just being retarded or were you just scared about the obvious flaws in your religion.

There are very few ex-creationists. Most are too self-righteous to admit even the possibility of being mistaken, or too stupid to understand evolution.

I talked one of my creationist friends out of it though. He was just very stupid and had no reasoning whatsoever. He basically said he just didn't like evolution.

Now, though, he says he doesn't believe in creation or evolution. I think he is mentally 'evolving' though.

I give him credit, however, for being intellectually honest enough to admit that he was wrong.

Still, he was just very stupid and would only see the connections he wanted to see.

Pretty much. Either that or they pick and choose a few facts that seem to present what they want to be true.

Why don't they just say God created the process of evolution?

[Aeroue]

Because he didn't.

According to Genesis he created us as we are, I think.

Or at least we were created in his own image, so unless he is a monkey it doesn't hold up.

Couldn't the Image statement be a reflection of our minds and personalities?

And then they figure out what screwed up the carbon dating.
