I don't get it. Creationism is so wrong and innacurate, every time I hear about it I just want to fall on the ground and roll over with laughter. Ridiculous things like the Universe is 6000 years old or that humans lived along side dinossaurs are so preposterous. Do people who believe in creationism lack the capability of thinking logically?
Pretty much every major religion (Christians main denomination such as Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox as well as Muslims, Budhists and Jews) agree with evolution and that the universe is about 15 billion years old. Are evangelicals the only ones that are in the dark ages about this?

I recently caught something on camera which I was convinced was unusual, but after a bit of proper analysing of the photo turned out to be a large diving bird. Anyone who has visited the Loch will know how it can easily play tricks on the eye. I did once see a very large dark shape under the water there once, but again there are many explanations. My question is has anyone seen something in the loch they could not readily explain away, or better still have any pictures? and also what are your theories as to what the creature is? No idiotic/smartass/silly answers please. Also I couldnt care less if you dont believe it exists. aloof skeptics just annoy me. post scornful drivel if you must but dont expect 10 points for it.
