Based on the Bible, I believe that all the land animals were made on day six, and Adam and Eve were made on day six, and people try to make fun of us for believing that dinosaurs lived with people, but there are a lot of animals living today that evolution says lived with dinosaurs.
I grew up believing that I could be the president of the United States. I was told I could be whatever I wanted.
Rationally, I was convinced that the universe without God made no sense, but that simply was not the same as believing. But I also knew that I could not argue myself, or be argued, into faith.
Smart, well-meaning people get it wrong when they start believing that the world owes them something and that the rules are different for them.
