I was 5 when I went to a Catholic kindergarten (at my grandmother's insistence, I now believe) and went WTF at the creation stories. Interesting, because I knew nothing of science or critical thinking yet. My young mind just totally rejected it. I remember wondering why they were telling us these bizarre stories. I accepted the concept of God until about 12 when I realized it was in the same category of Santa Clause.

Funny thing is, I didn't make a connection between God and the creation stories until after I stopped believing in God. My parents were only very casually religious so I didn't get any indoctrination from them. My Grandmother filled my head with God but she passed when I was still pretty young. I was utterly shocked the first time I realized people actually believed in Genesis.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
