1: There is no "predominate belief" of my family and friends. My wife is a born again christian, beyond that the rest of us have no beliefs.
2: Midwest
3: Again, it would be difficult for me to change beliefs when I don't (nor have I ever) held any. I'm assuming you mean religious beliefs here btw. I do recall vividly believing in monsters as a child.
4: I opted out of highschool when I was 16 and went the route of the standardized test, then joined the service and dabbled very briefly in community colleges.
5: I do not have any beliefs regarding the big bang, I'm currently reading The Grand Design, and I've been devouring books on physics and cosmology for as long as I can remember, there are several theories floating around at the moment, I don't have any belief in any of them, nor do I feel qualified to select which theory is "correct"
6: Are you going to keep asking the same question over and over, have we sufficiently twisted the meaning of belief around yet?
7: I would respond that there is no such thing as a "fine-tuning argument" only a "fine-tuning statement".
8: More of this..you know what, I'm not even going to be mean about this one, only mention that you should probably write "Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection" It's the natural selection bit that's a theory, evolution is simply an observed fact. That's what a theory is btw, a model proposed to explain an observed fact.
9: Are you asking why the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection is a strong one, don't be lazy, educate yourself. (let me just stop you before you say you have, okay?)
10: Whether or not Natural Selection is the means by which we can fully explain the observed effect of evolution in no way affects my view on mythical beings.
11: I don't believe that morals are relative, its an observable fact. Take cannibals for instance, balls in your court.
