So you are only one opinion. I think if this was a consensus you would be the minority. For the most part statistics Americans believe in God not some bogus ape to man theory that makes no logical sense and some big explosion. Try taking dynamite and exploding it see if you get anything come from the blast that is in a systematic order.

Tell you what, when you actually look into what evolution is, and can discuss it in an informed manner, then you come on back and we'll get into your statements above.

Never said it was a "fraud", because "fraud" is too general a word. I would say it is a dangerous cult and should be treated as such, but not a "fraud". I mean, if an axe murderer was tried for a bank robbery, sure, he is still an axe murderer, but in regards to robbing the bank, he's innocent.

Sure, Scientology is a dangerous cult, but to say it is a "fraud" makes little sense. Why not just call them a cult and treat them as such?

I have looked into it believe in my opinion it is a bunch of hot air. There are far too many species to transition and too much complication would occur from it. It is kind of like families marrying poeple within their own family like, sister's marrying brothers, uncles marrying 2nd and 3rd cousins. It would be a mess.
