I have been observing this raging war between evolution/creation, yet, i sometimes think that real appreciation for life, and freedom of thought is lost by some of both sides, I just would encourage both sides of this vociferous war, to step back, look at life and appreciate it for what it is. Why should I be offended, or offend, if you do not agree with my understanding of life?
Is not the fact that you believe enough?
Can we try to see, that, just because we do not agree on this point, it should not be a personal affront to any of us?
It seems, that, in my observation, we as humans have this flaw, where we take anyone else's views that differ from ours, as a personal attack on our character.
A belief system does not define who we are, we define what it is.
Does this make any sense?
Please, no attempts to prove either creation or evolution, I am just wondering, if there is a way we can eventually get to a place of mutual respect,
Does anyone else here want to try?
