Most people on this board don't know a thing about the evolutionary biology, astro physics, or quantum physics. If you did, you'd realize there are a lot of uknowns that are unexplainable. Would you want a Christian quizzing you on that shit? Asking you explain to wave particle duality or m theory?
Don't close the book on God or religion. There is plenty of room for it. If science has told us anything it's that anything is possible. Keep an open mind, you'll be a better person. It's just as easy to ignorantly turn to science for all the answers as it is to turn to religion. It's all faith.

I never said Christianity is wrong, I said that things don't make sense to me. Why would a God create this world and have it sit with sludge, plants, and eventually other animals for hundreds of millions of years before putting us on it? Why would he go through millions of years of evolution to finally get the final product? Why would he create this massive universe with stars and planets? It just seems like a lot of unnecessary work.
I'm not saying there is no higher power. I still don't understand how the "big bang" could just happen out of nothing.
As for taking the bible literally, that is what a lot of Christian leaders do. Whether it's finding obscure passages in the bible to condemn homosexuality or something else that is being preached about, there are people out there doing it all the time. When science disproves something that is in the bible, they come out and say it is not meant to be interpreted literally. I just think that too many Christians pick and choose what should be taken literally and what shouldn't.
