I have to say that I was THE anti-"evolutionist" in my high school, and today I am really embarrassed about it. I remember submitting a science project asking why horses and cows have different kinds of teeth when they eat the same kinds of grass. Or something like that. It was 40 years ago. I used to blame evolution and its doctrine of survival of the fittest for the rise of Hitler. Hitler, who, by the way, was not an atheist. And not a proper Christian. An evil SOB whose "God" was a hateful corruption of the Christian God. But not an atheist. Anyway, as I educated myself, I realized certain truths that, to be honest, quite surprised me. 1. Evolution does not have an endgame. It's not headed somewhere. 2. No species is more "advanced" than any other. We are where we are, when we are. Gorillas are just as advanced as man... it's a matter of their suitability to survive in their environment. 3. "Survival of the fittest" isn't about who's strongest. It's about who lives long enough to reproduce.

Wow - I found your thread from 2014 which garnered over 600 replies. I'll check it out. I also found your thread "Ten Years of Unbelief" which I plan to read after replying. As horrible as the curses listed in Deuteronomy 28 are, the support of them by apologists is just as disgusting. I think verse 63 in that chapter says a lot: "And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goes to possess it. It's not that I think as a mere mortal that I have the right to criticize a biblical almighty and creator God, it's that I no longer believe that such a horrible god truly exists.
