Many times people spout off things that they claim to believe because they heard it from someone else and liked how it sounded, yet they have no idea what they are talking about. I could bash evolution till i'm blue in the face, but it makes no difference unless i've studied it and can refute it logically.

I have no problem with critisizm of my beliefs so long as it is not a personal attack. I figure, if I can't defend what I believe and why, then I need to study more and think it through better. Some things I may never completely understand, and I figure, one day I will be in Heaven before God and will have missed the point on some things.
