What do those of you who hate the non-believers think about Alfred Russel Wallace? I'm looking at you Numbers and Townie.
he wrote Infinite Jest, right?

I had to look that up. The answer is NO.
No, but I've learned that there is a litmus test of only two questions that should be applied to over 5 billion people on the planet. I guess that's considered viewing the world with an open mind.
Dunno.
Thank goodness. A big step towards continuing our own social evolution.
I have two litmus tests for people: are you anti-gay rights and do you believe in evolution?
And why would it be a stupid approach to just discount people who don't believe in evolution? It's a pretty basic litmus test for reasonable minds is it not? I'll defend the right of people to say whatever they want, but it's astounding to me how narrow-minded people can be that they don't accept a basic tenet of the world that we live in because a book written by men 2000 years ago says that it's not how the world started.
I rather view the world through two questions than through a Christian ideology.

I've seen the phrase "believe in evolution" more than once on this thread. Why do we need to believe in evolution when it is supposed fact?

It is still a theory. One I believe in strongly after seeing the evidence.

If it's a theory, why should we expect everyone to believe it? If it hasn't been proven, then it's just as factual as the existence of God.
There are literally billions of people who have felt the hand of God move in their lives. Some of you choose to believe that all of these people are delusional in some way. I think that the independent reports of people who you know to be intelligent should carry some weight in your evaluation. Instead, numbers, you choose to claim intellectual superiority.
It's your choice, but it's hard for me to understand how you can place so much weight in a theory yet be completely blind to the lack of logical foundation in your own position.
God and evolution aren't mutually exclusive.
