For some reason they are completely sold on the teachings of Fundamentalist Baptists in this area of thought - but they'll send those same Baptists to hell at the drop of a hat. It makes no sense... but then again, I guess that was your point.

Sure. I was just "pretending" the other day when Hannah and I were studying cells and DNA and all the related tangents. We studied in great depth for a couple of weeks, created models, studied how DNA strands unzip, zip, etc. etc., and we found NOTHING that supports evolution, and quite a bit that directly contradicts it. We didn't close our eyes to ANYthing. I am not afraid to read articles that support evolution. I just find it hilarious that none of them have any real facts to offer--just the opinions of the author viewing the evidence through the evolution-colored glasses allowing for no other conclusions' validity. THAT is playing a game of "just pretend." Just pretend God doesn't exist. Just pretend it isn't possible. Just pretend we know what we're talking about. Just pretend that the emperor is wearing clothes.

I'm not sold on the teachings of Fundamentalist Baptists--I'm sold on truth. Whatsoever is true, that is what I'll think on. If something contradicts God's Word, it's simply not true. That isn't pretending, pel. That's putting my trust where it belongs. The world, its philosophies and its knowledge still doesn't have all the answers. When I don't have an answer, I look to scripture. I don't read National Geographic and take everything at face value. But I do take God's Word at face value.

I guess if you don't accept God's Word as infallible, absolute and irrefutable, it causes a problem with reasoning from the get-go.
