I'm pretty damn sure all but the programmer one aren't creationists so there really isn't much to argue about. The thing is not too long ago I realized I've become a lot less... "aggressively informative" when it comes to ignorance tied to religion. In fact I sometimes feel a pang of shame coming out of some conversations because I may ventured too close to be downright apologetic for being an atheist. I had excepted a very good portion of the nation is Christian and most of which have what they see as very good reasons for their belief albeit not all too logically coherent reasons. But this latest scientific "blasphemy" not only hit home in that it was coming from fellow physics majors and it drove the idea into my mind that to be even the slightest bit religious one leaves themselves open to wide range of absurd notions. I mean, if these people didn't accept single celled organisms can evolve into multicellular organisms then they have either throughout the book on the history of the universe or they believe life simply *POOF*ed into existence on this rock... as if it Earth's surface was a barren world complete with a rock zoo, an ocean, and another rock zoo and then in front of the eyes of onlooking aliens a big cloud of smoke enveloped the world and viola, life, as if it were some parlor trick.

I don't want to dwell on this despite my long post, I just wanted to write it all out. This is probably going to be some sort of existential formative event for me.
