... in response to Religion, posted by david hagar on Aug 11, 2003David,
I am also a Southern Baptist and attend almost every Sunday. Although I'm a member of a baptist church, I do not really like many of the traditions of the church, I have an open mind and I read the Bible, pray and I study apologetics, esp. the evolution vs. creation debate. I have a logical and scientific way of thinking so I "test" the Bible and the mainstream scientific way of thinking. In other words, I think for myself without any preconceptions.
So far I see no scientific or logical fallicies with the Bible and believe that the creation model stands up to the neo-darwin model of evolution very well. It seems that everyone can be so dogmatic in their beliefs to the point that logic ceases to exist on both sides of the argument.
By the way, I live in the Pensacola, Florida area.
Tim.
