Pardon my curiosity on your opinion of this matter
First and foremost you should never apologize for having curiosity.

I said that Evolution is a matter of choice left up to the individual. There is too many inconsistencies with it from the time it was dreamt up until now. I have a couple of examples why I will not say one way or the other the hypothesis of Evolution is credulous enough to believe in. Now not to split hairs but take rabbits for instance, at one time they were considered to be related to rodents and here they turn out to be more closely related to primates. Honestly, should I go around erroneously believing that rabbits are related to rodents?

Or how about the case of the big beaver, these beavers were so big they were as big as bears and at one time they thought the big beaver through a slow process of evolution slowly evolved (just like every-other animal does) through millions of years into small beavers, but then they (the scientists) found out hey both of these beavers were neighbors and they lived at the same point in time. So well then maybe they didn't evolve into each other afterall. Sadly enough the last of the big beavers died alone in a cave in Ohio, the last of it unevolved kind.

Or how about the Pterosaurs, they arrived on the scene fully formed with enormous wings spans, there was no missing link, they had just magically appeared fully formed and they were pretty big in the earliest of fossil records and then at the hieght of their evovlutionary career they got as big a lion - both in size and weight. Scientitst haven't found a intermediate lizard-pterosaur link - sadly enough.

All I'm saying is I prefer people to make up there own mind on the matter. And as for myself I won't say I agree one way or another whether or not the Evolution hypothesis merits something to admit for it's historicity and credulity. I'm waiting for scientitist to stop evolving the Evolution hypothesis itself.
