I'm happy with my answer, "what science doesn't know, it will continue asking until it finds out." PS - your questions just scream you know nothing about the scientific method.
Oh, and I never said fundies were uneducated. I just said you needed to pick up a science book, not a "science" book.
You don't have to argue your faith to me, I never asked you to. But thanks for admitting it's not logical! I have no interest in "converting" you to a doubter or non-believer or anything of the sort - I'm simply wondering WHY if your faith is SO STRONG it's such a problem to read about things which contradict the bible. Knowledge is power, you know. Learning about other people, other faiths, other socioeconomic backgrounds, etc makes you a better person. You don't have to suspend your belief in god to read an issue of Scientific American, and reading such things will not corrupt you and turn you into an atheist, if, as you say, your faith is strong. I can read the bible without becoming a christian, can you not read the Qu'ran without becoming Muslim?
And it's not silly to think everyone descended from two naked people in a garden? Or that dinosaur bones were put here by the devil to "test us" (don't know for what, but test us), and that the entire earth was flooded and some dude built a ship to house every animal in the world (two)? And that's not even getting to the talking snakes and unicorns.... Oh wait, I forgot... god did it.
