Origins science has almost nothing to do with scientific evidence since no One but Creator God was around to observe origins! Praise His Name for leaving us such an historically accurate and detailed narrative account of origins in His Word as it is the only real observational evidence available for scientific discussion. The rest of the so-called "science of origins" posted here is nothing but philosophical drivel!

Am I the only one who read this and the first thing that popped in my mind was "gullible?"

In truth, I suspect there are a reasonably wide variety of reasons why Christians participate on this board -- including a misguided few who don't get to stay very long as a result. Pick any number from the list below, many of which would apply equally to atheist, agnostic, or Christian:
- To edumacate
- To learn
- To relax
- To have fun
- To demonstrate superior knowledge
- To have an invigorating debate
- To score points
- To flatter one's own ego
- To confirm that you know better than that other lot
- To condescend
- To berate
- To cajole
- To encourage
- To have fellowship
- To relieve boredom
- To challenge
- To be challenged
If you stay around long enough, you get to see all those and probably many more reasons - from Christians and non-Christians alike. We're all human, after all.
That was about the most honest and respectful answer that could have come up.

Sure abraxas, that's why I see he doesn't know what he's talking about! Christians do NOT "score points, flatter their own ego, confirm that they know better than others, condescend' berate, or cajole".
Gotta disagree with ya there...
I've let my emotions get the best of me several times and I admit it. Most of the time I try to keep my comments private when that happens, but it doesn't always happen. The question I posed was one of those times.

Well, we have probably strayed way too far off topic (I am party to blame for that too), but I really don't see the point of this discussion.
The bottom line is that this is a right-wing Christian message board with clearly stated objectives and rules that favor Biblical literalism and inerrancy, and hence creationism, and to top it all off, the only science-related section is in the Theology folder. If you came here expecting anything else, then you were mistaken.
The nice thing about the board is that, as long as you stay within the rules, you can argue against those positions as much as you want, but no one should seriously expect that any of the threads debate science and scientific evidence only.
I had been here long ago, and I've been on similar boards for about 15 years. I knew exactly what to expect.

Okay -- it just seemed you were trying to antagonize just for the sake of it. People who do that (including at least one creationist if I recall) tend not to last very long around here.
