Just say no (to creationism)

hey everyone, I’m looking for some feedback on an article I wrote but haven’t published yet. Does this make me sound like an asshole?

Sometimes you just shouldn't believe a specific interpretation of the Bible. Nobody witnessed the past and it's arrogant for humans to think they can decipher it with vague or complex theories and explanations.

I would rather trust evidence over the mythology of bronze aged barbarians about the genesis of the universe, earth and life.

Instead of debating this vain topic, sometimes we just have to take a leap of faith and say yes, my interpretation of the Bible must be wrong.

You can tell me all about your favorite interpretation of the Bible but I am not going to be convinced because it contradicts what we can observe to be true about the universe.

Only evidence can convince me to believe one way or another so instead of telling me about your favorite interpretation of the Bible start reading science textbooks to enlighten me if you really want me to be convinced because unlike you, I understand high school level science, so I can easily discern that you are wrong about the science.

Evidence—not faith is at the top of my pyramid.

It's evidence, emotion and then faith.

When I say facts don't care about your feelings, I mean it in the facts take precedence over emotion and faith.

Evidence does not care about your faith or emotion.

I don't subscribe to the religion of creationism.
