I don’t doubt that if a spirit/soul exists, it should be able to remember things, but the physics behind rewiring the brain’s synapses to store ethereal memories is quite a concept.

I’m not going to do your work for you. So, when you quote something, you should show some intellectual honesty and give the source.

Jesus left behind 7 tribes? What do you mean by tribe? What evidence do you have for this claim?

Then you go from tribes to loving Jesus. This is a non sequitur. Even if I grant that Jesus left behind 7 tribes (which I don‘t), that doesn’t mean there are an equal number ways of loving him.

There are three types of “there:” there, their, and they’re. “Their” is possessive. So, if you say “their is”, it is wrong. It should be “there is.” Also, you spelled it wrong.

Also, I don‘t care about your conclusion about there being no “true“ religion, or faith. What is important is your reasons for believing that. If your reason is some mangled quote and some nonsense about Jesus leaving behind 7 tribes followed by dubious reasoning, then your reasons aren‘t good. In fact, I would say they’re atrocious.

So, why do feel compelled to post such noisome garbage? Did you really think there was any way I would find them the least bit convincing? Because, to me, your last post is equivalent to vandalism.

Understanding that this is satire and hyperbole, it is still an unfair and
gross mischaracterization of a large portion of mainstream Christianity.

Polls I’ve seen state that approximately 40% of American believe in evolution, and belief in evolution drops to 24% among frequent church attenders.

As for creationism:
44% of people in 2008 believe that God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,00 years or so.

And this seems to be a relatively steady trend.

I don’t know how you define mainstream, but creationism certainly isn’t fringe.

But, it IS effective in attempting to paint creationists as blind-faith rubes or frothing Luddites, thus relieving you of the obligation to evaluate their theories with any kind of an open mind.

Give me a break. The first thing anyone with no evidence to back up their claims accuses a skeptic of is not being open minded enough. Tim Minchin wrote a song addressing this issue called “If You Open Your Mind Too Much Your Brain Will Fall Out (Take My Wife)”

When a creationist (or Intelligent Design proponent, “The He Who Must Not Be Named“ version of creationism) can point to one gene in nature that shows evidence of non-evolutionary origin, then it can start to be taken seriously.

The reason proponents are unwilling to so should be obvious to anyone who watches this video.

In sum, evolution is true in the same way the theory of gravity is true. Anyone who says that it isn’t is deluded. Anyone who is not sure is ignorant. Creationism isn’t something to debate, it is something to be ridiculed because it isn’t a serious proposition to begin with. I offer no apologies for treating it with disdain. If you honestly believe the only possible reason I could reject and mock it is because I didn’t evaluate the conjectures it offers with an open mind, you’ve been indoctrinated. While I appreciate the irony of an indoctrinated individual complaining about my lack of an open mind, I also think you should look in the mirror (that is a metaphor).

Handy, that.
