Default Re: Anybody watch the Bill Nye, Ken Ham creationist debate?

I think the word "Religion" denotes an attitude of going with the flow, going to church, saying all the things they're supposed to say, doing what they're told by their leaders, but without any deep thought or question as to why they're doing what they're doing.
But here's the thing, for a lot of deeply spiritual people, their faith rests in their own personal relationship with God. There are people that have tried to examine and apply scientific logic to their faith, but they can't. It doesn't mean that they're not deserving of it.
I think the whole "religion is for people who can't think for themselves" debate paints with a very broad brush. The majority of us (I hope) religion or no, know the difference between right or wrong. The bible does point to how you are responsible for your own life and are held accountable for your own actions.
