EPTPersonally I find the latter more attractive, but a lifetime of socialization leads many men to thinking they should be more intelligent than their woman, or that intelligence isn't that important of a quality. Evolution doesn't necessarily explain everything, but to deny it outright indicates a lack of thought.

I told her my deist beliefs, how God was less watcher and more clockmaker, who first created the laws and logic of the world and then allowed it to flourish and become beautiful. Her most recent text: "I guess that's a more valid argument. You win!" :D | ||

Creationism vs Evolution debates are easy when the person on the other side of the table is just a random. It's a lot easier to just accept victory on any terms when they're your girlfriend :3 | ||

Believe it or not everything he said is correct. The most annoying thing about these kinds of debates is people who "believe" in evolution but don't actually know anything about the epistemology behind science. | ||

I wouldn't want to have kids with someone who would teach them lies and to distrust science. If my partner would keep religion to herself (which is how it should be), then I would be fine with it. | ||

The sad thing is that if evolution is just a theory then creationism is just a hypothesis. So calling evolution out for being "just a theory" is pointless. Of course, that doesn't really matter because most arguments for Creationism are so full of logical fallacies and plain nonsense that pointing this out doesn't help. | ||

I was going to discuss this with my girlfriend on the car ride home from hanging out at my house when she all of a sudden said "but evolution is a bunch of crap..." This was a bit of a shocker for me. I knew she had very very religious parents, but she had always said that she got annoyed by their proselytizing and rarely went to church. She's definitely not stupid either, she's a good student at school too. I tried to explain to her the evidence behind evolution and how the entire scientific community plus a majority of the educated world accepts the truths behind evolution. However, I stopped myself because I realized that this was one of those things that I might not be able to change, because she said that she'd been taught since she could barely talk that God created the Earth 6000 years ago, and that organisms don't change over time. Now here's the question: should I forget it and leave it be (I'm leaning towards this now because, just like arguing religion, I doubt I'll be able to change her mind) or try to show her evidence and persuade her, but risk getting into a fight (please provide some good websites for evidence if you choose this) Poll: What should I do? Let it be; keep getting head (109) Persuade her, c'mon she'll listen to you! (86) 195 total votes Your vote: What should I do? (Vote): Let it be; keep getting head I can overlook it but it still bothers me that someone who I love just refuses to accept something that has been accepted as truth by the scientific community. Oh the misconceptions people have, "It's okay if she makes with the head!" A blow job is oral sex yet many are unaware of this. Sex education meet religion. I've known many Catholic school girls and religious nuts who share this belief. The ones I've known loved giving head and didn't know any better. Completely oblivious to the fact that giving head is sex. "I did no wrong!" Sure you didn't. As it isn't part of your beliefs!  Anyway, from experience it's never really worked out and its best to avoid discussion about religion. If you've been with her long enough the parents and relatives will most likely pull the card on you. Never worked out for me and I avoid those debates like white on rice because no one wins. Faith and religion is a touchy subject here and everywhere else. If they are diehards well let's just say you have your back up against the wall right from the beginning. In many cases its one of the most important things to them. It is what it is. Like I said earlier, if your dick is receiving the treatment. It's still sex and she like many others are totally oblivious to it. Now that would be a funny conversation with her. Glad it worked out for you thus far. You stuck to your beliefs and it's what makes you you. If she or anyone else cannot accept it then they don't fit into your equation. | ||

I grew up in a really religious family too, though I'm Agnostic. Don't be so quick to judge and trust Edit: typo | ||

Also... how long have you known this girl if you're only finding out now that she's such a firm creationist? Seems to me you either don't know her very well, or you haven't been dating for very long so why not get out before you develop any stronger emotional attachment? Sorry if that sounded too logical, but that's how I think about this sort of thing. Good luck! | ||

I'll end this post like I started it. I'm not you, so if you care less about science or logic or any of that shit, then stay with her. If it's important to you to be dating a girl who thinks seriously about life then persuade her or break up with her. Just my 2 cents. | ||
