Religion

I am not against religion per se. I am, however, against anti-rationality. I have no problem with people holding irrational beliefs. It's when the irrational beliefs require the rejection of rational beliefs that they become problematic.

I know what you mean. The idea of evolution is such an irrational, blind-faith, science fiction theory. The world provides air, water and food (which wouldn't have happened in a volatile, toxic environment), and the living creature ( well over a million species), reproduce (male and female) after their own kind, without fail. The creatures use the air, water and food and convert it to energy and nutrition for their own quality of life. If the creature could not have taken in the air, separated the oxygen from the carbon dioxide and distributed it throughout the body within the first 3 minutes, they would have died. So, was their another big bang to start over? Did the first creature have a mouth, teeth, throat, stomach, intestines, digestive fluids and a rectum right off so it could have eaten the food the earth provided? Or, did the first creature eat the food, absorb the waste and poop out the nutrition? I love rational thinking, myself and evolution certainly is not science. Heck, did you ever observe a million years ago? How do they verify their equipment to know if it is accurate? Were there any eye witnesses to a monkey turning into a human? A fish walking after it got beached? Any original manuscripts? And transitional forms? There should be millions for each specie and millions more for each organ, system and placement of the parts of a body, which would be dug up on a regular basis. But, Lo, not even one transitional form....better stick to what we can observe and test...facts...
