Wow…strong feeling on both sides
I actually think atheists require the greatest faith of all, as they need to believe that this marvelously complex world is simply an accident.
Truly, I have much more respect for those that , while they may not be religous, have an open mind about those things they simply cannot know. I do feel that there is a burden of proof when you postulate that God cannot exist.
as to the Genesis question…how intellectually honest is it to discount creationism based on the interpetations/understanding of the average Christian
You might as well discount evolution theory based on the average understanding of a 5th grade science student.
I know of over 20 different interpetations of the original text of Genesis, and yet supposedly intelligent people parrot the “6 days -no way mantra”
