Ok, so I do respect that you probably get a lot of trolling here with people who want to bash your perspectives without engaging in debate. I can see why the response was so strong from the beginning and why it seemed to be very defensive.
When I wrote my intro, I guess I was taking it personally because I didn't understand why everyone was jumping down my throat. I guess I understand that better now.
So, simply to clarify, I'm not a religious fundamentalist. I do not subscribe to any blind faith in any deity. I do, however, have many things that I have read, seen, learned, been told, experienced that make me lean more toward intelligent design/influence and I hope that you will all respect me enough to hear me out with regard to these things and engage in honest discussion without thinking that I'm meaning to imply things about your views and/or insult you in any way.
Without even needing to read everyone's bios, I do appreciate each of your opinions and if you're willing to engage in honest discussion, I value your feedback. It's nice to meet you
