The person is what matters. Respect is earned as well as disrespect.
If someone wants to discuss his religious beliefs, fine, I have no problem with that. If someone's only out to preach, then we have a problem. Also I have a very hard time respecting those, who refuse to educate themselves. I'm not asking them to give up their faith, but I do ask them to show some willingness to accept that not everything in the bible or any other holy book has happened literally and that science isn't just a conspiracy out to get them.

I liked the old thread better. Did someone complain?

Thanks to LastPoet for the fix. Maybe everyone interested has had their say. Apologies to those who were offended by the earlier OP. I didn't realize that referring to people's obvious and acknowledged apologetics would be deemed insulting. Or perhaps it was the way I characterized someone's pet theory. Oh well, bury the hatchet.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
