That's what I really don't get: How someone can be so completely indoctrinated by their religion that they actually accept the thing they think they're against and don't even realize it, and where this bogus distinction between micro and macro evolution comes from.
Well, okay, I know where the micro/macro thing comes from, it comes from them trying to rationalize their religion with the obvious fact of evolution, what I don't get about this distinction is that they don't understand that if you sting together all the so-called micro evolution examples they do accept, you get so-called macro evolution, and thus there's no distinction and it's all just evolution.
I'm so glad I never had to claw my way out of being indoctrinated to this degree, this makes my brain hurt.
It's the same reason anyone would think the the bible condemns slavery. Supposedly he rescued the isrealites from slavery, but then he said it's fine to own people from other cultures, and even made a way to own their own people by offering a man a wife.
When reality contradicts the bible, and you find you can't ignore it, you just have to twist the words to mean something else. As racist as some people can be, you're unlikely to meet a guy that owns someone, and said he paid his wife's father to marry her after he raped her.
