How so? I'm at peace with myself, and I have my own reason, which I trust more than others. In my early years at school I was taught one way, which was a watered down interpretation of science, but I believed half and questioned the other. Was at church for many years and was taught another way, but my conscience was never settled because of being spoon fed more interpretation from people. So where do I stand? Choose a side just because I have to? I don't feel that's hypocritical at all. Being a hypocrite is listening to both sides of the story and quietly rejecting your own conscience when you find logic in something that is opposed to the beliefs you stand so firmly in. Lying to ourselves is the most hypocritical thing we can do. Especially when we're defending something that we actually know a minute percentile about. We can fill our heads with facts and knowledge, but what does it change? Nothing. We can comfortably battle it out with others to debate our beliefs, but what does it gain? Nothing. Life goes on and no matter how much knowledge we gain in a lifetime, rest assured the majority of it has been gained through theory, which is an idea. Doesn't mean it really happened. We humans and have only been here for a small blip in the time of this world and universe, so we can't know everything, and we don't know everything. Simple fact of the matter (in my opinion) is evolutionary science or creation based science will always stop at a gaping chasm of "We don't know what happened here". This is undeniable, so what is the inevitable? "Let's plug the gaps with more theory". Believe what you want to believe and follow what you want to follow, but in my own personal position is I've come to a simple and comfortable conclusion, I really don't know... I'm not trying to be belligerent or argumentative. This is the way I think.
