I don't think this is true. If you REALLY wanted the truth, you would do research on evolution just to SEE if it is right for yourself.
But you have said multiple times that you refuse to look up information about it.
So no, you don't just "want the plain and simple truth", else you would've delved into research, came up with the realization that evolution IS a fact the same way in which gravity IS a fact, and we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Most Christian-raised individuals who actually try to find the truth for themselves, the ones that REALLY want to know, they come out atheists.
Be honest, Blondie. You only want the truth if it is aligned with your religion. If not, then the truth can F off for all you care.
But it won't change the fact that it's still the truth.
I never said refused. More or less, did not care enough about it to look it up. It is like out of sight, out of mind type thing until maybe get curious enough about it. Then I might check it out. I did come on this site ignorantly, but why not go ahead and learn something now that I am here?
I am not sure how to put this to get my idea across so please do not take any offense to it. Evolution has been said to have scientific evidence behind it. Now some creationists have also used science to show the earth much younger than what is originally thought. I can't find it right off the bat. But anyway, since science is science, both Creationists and Evolutionists use science to back their claims, who is right?
Like someone else said on this site that science has nothing to do with atheism, but it does help.
