(evolutionists) is calling someone stupid just an excuse?
i find it interesting that evolutionists think that creationists are not smart or lacking in proper education. i've read dawkins, gould, behe, and hawkings among others. i have a ph.d., albeit not in biology, but i have taken several biology courses. i am successful in my career and i have a wonderful family and home. however, in the mind of an atheist, i am considered a fool for my faith in jesus christ and my belief that the world was created. 

why is it that i am written off as stupid; yet, i could easily demonstrate a higher plane of intellect than many atheists on this forum? 

what is more likely, that i am simple or that we simply disagree? 

please note: the candor of your answer will give me a good impression of your level of cognitive ability.
i'll suppose that you're telling the truth, which, i'm sure you're not, simply by a few of the tells in your message. i'll suppose as such because your imaginary situation is possible.
i don't believe christians are necessarily idiots, and not many taoists believe that at all. it's not very logical to say "creationist = idiot" because that implies a million and one presuppositions and a very very jaundiced psychological map.
you have to ask the question "why do they believe in creationism as opposed to evolutionism despite the fact that they've been thoroughly educated on evolution, and the fact that the world could not have possibly been created in 7 days 6000 years ago."
there can be a million answers, but the most prominant one is this: "it's too much work to find my own answer, and this one fits--if i die, and i'm right, wonderful. i go to heaven, if i'm wrong, oh well, i won't remember anyway. it's a good guidebook for morals, and keeps me doing the right thing. christianity has made me a better person."
does that make you an idiot? no, it just makes you weak in one area of development. who cares if you're weak in one area if you're strong in countless others. if you do good work, helping people, making the world a better place, that's really all that matters.
the conflict arises if you're pushing theocratic reform in government, that tries to subject the whole world to your ideology simply because you haven't got the mental reserves to focus on what you really believe happened in the beginning of it all, or when you're one of the loud voices screaming out against stem-cell research technology, or any other philosophically possibly morally objectionable science on the premise of a few verses in a book.
with all of these considerations in mind, i don't care that you don't accept the science on evolution, it doesn't effect me, and it doesn't effect any of us. it only effects you, and your personal psychological map. how you view the whole, how you interact with the people around you.
what are you talking about religious people get mocked frequently and looked down upon by those who either believe differently or don't believe at all. this is why we shouldn't have religious people in power, they have a tendency to make it hard on the other religions. yeah, its an incomplete genetic code, having only half the required chromosomes needed to create a life. it also doesn't consume food and produce waste, it cannot itself reproduce, etc. its clearly and obviously, as long as your not an anti science person, not a human being but a fetus is (again so long as your not anti-science). ignorance, poor education, instilled with that from parents, fear of someone who is different, fear of things they don't understand, fear of change, hostility towards people who they perceive are doing better than them, irrational fear of people they believe are trying to take their jobs or worsen their life situation in some way. i could list another dozen. and everybody is a keyboard warrior on social media saying things anonymously they'd never have the guts to say to someone's face.often times, it's a combination but irrational fear and insecurity is usually present. one of the best jokes i've heard that exposes the hypocrisy of racism, fear of immgrants, foreigners etc. is:"if you think immigrants are all criminals, rapists and killers and you think immigrants are all coming to take your jobs, what the hell do you do for a living?" You only got to look at the uk brexit referendum to see what happen when you give dumb folk the vote. i know it's going to be super trendy to write off everyone on this site as a lunatic, but the people here are just as eligible for dating as anyone else.that being said though, i'm certainly not going to initiate or treat this website like a dating site. no they are not right. if you are happy with the choices that you choose to make then who are they to try to judge you for that? you're trying your best at least from what i'm hearing and seeing to live a godly lifestyle, and they want to tell you how you're making a mistake? how about all the mistakes that they more likely made? are they married with children? or are they hopping from one girl to another girl regardless if it's a relationship casual or not and they just want to see you and them just like them? ignore the naysayers, and stay away from people that are not benefiting your life. they just want to see you screwed up because they don't like the fact that you're doing what you got to do, and they're not really focusing on what they need to do. they don't need to accept the fact that you are living the life the way you know you need to live it. if they don't like it because it makes them feel like they're not doing something? well then that's their business.personally they just sound messed up, and i just want you to be miserable like they are. you already said that you are happy, at least i believe you're content with that. it's not perfect but you're still content right? that's all that matters. i'm a virgin i never dated, i've never been with anybody at all either. and i have no regrets. i have no regrets because after going through what i went through growing up, seeing how everybody else's relationships are, and you hear what you hear on this site even more, it really makes you wonder what is the best decision for you. the bible says that people will have troubles in this life. especially when they are married, or these days having sexual relationships. this is what people want, this is what they desire, so they get what they desire. it may not be what they claim they want, but they're forgetting that every thing is a choice, and every choice has its consequences. in the end people just want the benefits and not having to deal with what they got to go through. but i'm pretty sure you're mature enough to understand this already. so regardless to what you can't allow them to try to dictate what you choose to do in your life, and if you know they're going to be bad influences anyway then you're not doing yourself a big favor by listening to them. don't be discouraged by them. whenever it is that you decide to do regardless of what people say, especially when it comes down to dating or whatever, that's a choice that you personally have to make. nobody else can make that choice for you except you and god himself. okay? understand that. i believe you're going on the right path regarding to doing what is right. and i believe that god will cover and protect you. i understand in the old days, you did asked around to your friends and family, or teachers. and everything was a hush hush bc we didn't have the advanced technology that we got now. the books were another way of getting further information too, and dictionary and thesaurus were big part of how to communicate with everyone around in society. lots of information was learned and apply in reality right away, and we became pretty much smart by keeping our brains active and resolving our own problems and then we taught others by teaching them about issues i learned along the way. if i wanted to learn anything it had to be done in pen or pencil and in writing it on papers, and keeping things as a record too. time has change, now its a chore to write, a chore to think to keep our brains active, chore in lacking to ask questions that we might think its stupid so our computers now do the asking for us... there's nothing left that we need to do personally by hand that enables us to think logical bc our technology is so advance that now we are becoming lazier and not so active in going out anymore. sad really. i rather not have technology only for job or a cell phone for emergencies only. but thats not reality now, i got it all bc i have too. jezus my brain is fucked up i thought this was amazon's "my iq too low" guy again lol you know the left has no compelling argument on their side, nor evidence or reason to support their positions. lacking anything credible the only thing left is insulting and spewing hate. so so sad to watch i was going to say that thinking people expressing attraction is sickness is itself a sign of a rather sick mindset- but then, that's exactly what you were saying. you live where you live, after all.
