Humans, pretentious little creatures we are, are often convinced we know it all. Yet, we know some about our world, little about what's outside of it, and next to nothing about the universe it's all in. There are things out there that we have never seen, and probably could never imagine possible. We'll keep learning new things, and each time we do, people shout "NOW we know everything!"
But we don't. We are so far away from proving and quantifying everything that it isn't worth thinking about. There are many things humanity will never solve or prove, things that we will never find tangible physical evidence of. That doesn't mean at all that these things do not exist.
You call us ignorant, Darunia, because some of us do not believe that mankind is the highest form of existence. Yet, you pigeonhole yourself by refusing to open your mind. I will not say evolution is a sham, and I will not say that the universe was created in seven calendar days six thousand years ago. But I still believe that there is too much order to things for it all to be born out of random chaos. I believe a higher being, at the very least, had a hand in it.
Now you believe the exact opposite. That's okay with me, if you want to do so. But you could try to be tolerant of other people's beliefs. I wouldn't stand here and damn you to hell for being a heathen, if God wants to do that, it's His decision, not mine. I believe that you are wrong, but I wouldn't begin to tell you that you're an idiot or what not because you disagree with me. I can accept you for your beliefs. I think you ought to show the same consideration to us, because you seem to go out of your way to insult Christians every chance you get, and it's incredibly annoying.
