    I met a guy in a sauna the other day who started preaching to me and saying that he doesn’t believe in science because it contradicts the bible story of creation.

    I just had nothing to say to this man. His perception of reality is so far off base that I cannot comprehend his thought processes.

      Maybe the temperature of the sauna was a little too high? /s

      I went to a catholic school in my country. We got teach biology, evolution, genetics and we also got sexual education including abortion (the practice was illegal at the time). One of the first things that i remember from our teology classes was that “we shouldn’t take what is written in the bible in a literal sense and that it was written to a particular volk in a particular time by men”… and the example the Father used was specifically the Genesis, meaning “earth was not created in 6 days”.

      I read stories of those lunatics, i mean, those who trully are in a crusade against reality. Are those more common over the equator or something?
