Don't read if you are offended by STRONGLY held religious beliefs... or lack there of...

ok... so the first thing i am going to try to do is to remain calm... i am trying to breathe through the posting of this... let's see if i can actually do that... yeah... not sure i can... (breathing in out in out ) so what has me all worked up... well many of you know me... you know that i have a very open mind about most things... i am all for religious expression, and as long as you don't judge me... to each their own... also as many of you know... holding onto something.... especially on an emotional level (like staying mad at someone) takes effort on my part.... so i find myself in relatively untested water... so what has got me worked up... creationism... yep... you read it right... creationism... for some reason i can't let it go... it gets me worked up every time... i am trying to find my lesson in all of this... there has got to be one... there always is... so why is it that every time i hear that word it make my blood pressure rise... and the word stupid keeps being repeated in my head over and over and over again... i just want to look at everyone that goes to that museum and truly believes that the world is only 6,000 years old and say... "are you stupid or just uneducated" or maybe the right question would be... "are you THAT easily led?" you see... although i am a believer in evolution... i do admit there are holes in the theory... i also fully agree that there is intelligent design to some degree... hell, i am even ok if you want to believe in creation if you agree that it happened over thousands of years and not just seven days... and that who ever you want to call "god" didn't just say "poof" there is an elephant... what really gets me is that these people want to totally discount science based on a book that is 2000 years old... but want their heart attack treated with the latest and greatest science there is... you know the one... that same science that can carbon date and measure stuff in the minutest of parts, but can't accurately identify how old the earth is because a book, written by man (even if you agree that it was inspired by god, a man still wrote it) says that the earth is only 6000 years old... someone... please help me to understand... I also had the realization today... that the bible is at least 1900 years old, right? so, in the last 1900 years... NO ONE has been inspired enough, or has been inspired good enough to be included... ok.... i am done bashing the bible... i do feel that it is a great inspirational work... but history book it is not... lets leave that to some secular people for now... and the explantion that they give for meat-eating is that original sin is what CAUSED animals to start eating each other...really...are you for real? sorry... i am back to repeating the word stupid again... ok... breathing... well i am going to let you ponder that for a moment... i am going to try to do some breath work and some meditation to counteract the irritation this subject causes me... say it with me .... Ooooooommmmmm! Ooooooommmmmm!
