Well if you'd like to have an actual, honest, intellectual conversation, I'd love to talk about biology with you, as I am a former biologist and enjoy debunking Creationism.
You'll find derision (not necessarily the same as animosity) here in spades, when you make comments like the above. Most of us are quite-well-educated in the sciences, and find contempt for those who claim to hold such positions, during our numerous discussions on the same subjects, time and again. We have learned that such people are rarely honest, engage in the most astounding forms of observer bias, and have no concept about what science even is, let alone what it really says.
It's difficult to treat each new person in a light as respectful as they would prefer, over time. I ask your forgiveness. It is possible that you will be different from the scores we've seen before, who come in and make statements similar to yours. Usually, there's a link attached, which is against the rules for new posters; clearly, you observed the rules by not doing so, and so I thank you. I hope you truly are not like the other Creationists with whom we have dealt too often, in the past.
Fresh sheet of paper?

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
