The Rationalists have their religion, the Religionists theirs and the Scientists, theirs.
What I find amazing is that all of you, having been told there was an Easter Bunny and finding out there wasn't one, went on to believe in the Tooth Fairy. Then upon finding out there wasn't one of those either went on to believe in a Santa Claus. Then after falling for the enormous lengths they went to just to get you to believe in that, you discovered you'd been fooled again, you've fallen for evolution, too. Their stories change and their facts change to fit their stories and you still keep swallowing. You are seriously cheap date and easy dates! But what I love most of all is that you keep insisting you are skeptical! I love it!
Cogito ergo sum- until somebody comes up with a better Santa story.

I'm not sure if you are serious, or if you are quoting something I'm not familiar with, but that is beside the point.
Actually, I learned that Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the tooth Fairy weren't real at the same time. It also the fundamental point when I started questioning religion and the exisitance of God. Your argument is more applicable to Religion (faith, perhaps blind) then it is to evolution. Where as evolution has doggedly gained ground and is slowly being proven, Religion is simply a more detailed Santa story.
Lest this thread continue to be hijacked by irrelevent rantings:
I would like to say that I support the comments of sipsake. He's my thread hero.
I also have no belief in spirts. I don't claim 100% that they don't exisit. I'm not here to discus theologies and metaphysics. I can see the draw of the concept of life after death. I agree that many people will be shocked as they die, but not for the same reasons.
