My Take On Creationism

 

You can believe in a god.

You can believe in the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God.

You can even believe the world is 6 thousand years old.

 

I don't care.

Really, I don't.

For all I care, you can believe in green polka dot elephants.

As long as it's not hurting anyone, I'm cool with it, even though I might (and when I say might I mean probably) think it's totally stupid.

 

But here's where I draw the line:

When you start demanding that high school science textbooks should include chapters about said green polka dot elephants, or that government funds should go to turning public land into nature preserves for the aforementioned green polka dot elephants THAT is when we're going to start butting heads, bucko.

 

The United States of America was founded on the right to believe stupid things; for instance: slavery.

 

But just because you believe in something stupid, that doesn't mean I or anyone else has to believe in it too.

 

I know you might not think your belief in green polka dot elephants is stupid, but if you can't provide any evidence (not arguments, actual tangible evidence) for the existence of the green polka dot elephants, I have every right to laugh in your face and call you a loon.

 

And that's where I stand on creationism.
