[QUOTE="aeroz19, post: 16593568"] I guess it was ironic. But you all have convinced me to stay... Before I came here I had paid visits to other places, but only got YECists making statements that I had heard all along, which I had already begun to doubt. None of the people there could give me an answer that I sought. They were more ignorant and completely satisfied with their beliefs than the most ignorant poster here on CF. There is one type of reasoning which many of us use in our approach to the world: "If there are other opinions/ideas/thoughts besides my own, these other opinions/ideas/thoughts warrant my attention and investigation. Furthermore, they demand my consideration, just because they exist." Therefore, because evolution existed, it demanded my investigation and consideration. And because other denominations existed, they also demanded my investigation and consideration (and so I paid visits to their churches). And the same for other religions, and so forth. Why do these other things exist? Do they know something I don't know? Why do they think that way? Am I missing something? I'll just have a look and see for myself... Oh, how much trouble that got me into! ;) Yeah, probably. Perhaps they are like me. People who lurk around are either bored out of their brains, or are exploring doubts and unanswered questions. I've noticed those posts on Geology. Great stuff. You're right. [/QUOTE]
