Debating the existence of Jesus

[Rahul]

All the ones I've ever run across are fundie nutbags like G-C.

You know I hear about those guys all the time but I'm not sure where they came from. I never once heard a Baptist preacher teach stuff like Young Earth Creationism, or denounce Evolution, or anything like that. I grew up going to church three times every week and always believed in Evolution and all that humanity was learning from Science.

I mean Baptist churches are fairly autonomous. They only share between them the basic tenets of the Baptist faith. But in all the various preachers I encountered over all those years, I never ran into one preaching YEC nonsense.

So I don't know where those guys come from. When I much later found out that my mom didn't believe in evolution it came as a complete shock to me.

I was in my early 30's.
