Both are making truth claims, only one can be right.

Actually, this sentence could apply the other way around also. It's all
personal belief. I have not bashed the opposite viewpoint yet, mearly joind a discussion about viewpoints on the subject. This is, always has been, and probably will be one of the most debated topics. It's all about ones demeanor to me... can you discuss this openly (not just talking about you Hat), look at all viewpoints, and maitain a calm discussion? Or, do you get fired up, pi$$ed off, and start flailing your arms around in disgust of the others view. Unfortunately, with this topic, I think most people believe so passionately one way or the other, it's hard to just "debate" without hurting the others. This is probably why it falls in with politics and money on things best not discussed... unless you on an anonymous crackpipe... :lol: :lol: j/k

Why is it always assumed that those that don't believe are far left wing? I actually consider myself right of center, except when it comes to religion...
