RE: "I considered myself atheist, but I still talked to god"

That was one of the first things that came to mind when I saw the topic. "I considered myself a teetotaler, but I still drank alcohol." "I considered myself bedridden, but I still got up and walked around." "I considered myself a virgin, but I still engaged in sexual relations." And so on.

"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."

-Stephen Jay Gould
