Rubyee, until you are willing to back up your opinion with evidence of some kind, your opinion is just that: groundless, unfounded, and not belonging on a board about philosophical discussion.
You are simply ignoring evolution on the basis of: "I don't like it...I want to be special".
This is not an argument. It is not a mature outlook on life. It is self-decieveing. It is pulling the wool over your own eyes.
You can perfectly well apply your strategy to almost anything: A belief in Santa Claus, the easter bunny, the refusal to accept the existence of poverty, war and death.
Also, the converse IS NOT true.
You are welcome to question any one of my beliefs and I will be able to back it up, and argue for it.
You can ask me why I believe in evolution, and first of all, I will point you to the myriads of pieces evidence supporting my belief.
I will then point out the flaws in the dozens of ceationist counter arguments.
You will not find me saying "I believe in evolution just because I want to".
True, you do have the right to believe in what ever the hell you want to. Far be it from me to impinge on this, however since you are posting them on a philosophical board, I have the right to
a.) disagree.
b.) point out the flaws in your argument and
c.) defend my own "belief"
and cut out the "persecuted for my beliefs" crap.
