No doubt, but why can't you answer my poor questions?and you are your own creation?

I still haven't seen a single convincing evidences from the creationist camp.
All I see is a lot of misinformation and misleading claims from creationists about evolution, which is actually really about "abiogenesis", not "evolution"...and that lead to ignorance, because they cannot recognise and understand the distinctions between the two, which lead to faulty argument.
Dishing evolution, doesn't mean creationism is right.
no point....and they lead the discussion in the wrong directionNo doubt, but why can't you answer my poor questions?
it takes you to the beginningThis is a subjective assessment, just like your statement there is a subjective assessment:
You haven't been able to show that there are. Your question was definitely not better. I mean, using my subjective assessment.
Yeah, you can say that again.Let's face it, creationists aren't exactly a well-informed crowd.
So, you don't believe in and worship God or gods? I feel like you have just contradicted much of what you've said on this site. Keep in mind, he didn't say "organized religion" or "religious organization".I don't have a religion
that misconceptions come and go....is a fault to religion AND science

But there is a point when the obvious answer to such a poor question leads directly in the direction of the heart of the matter and falsifies your primary thesis. Sorry 'bout that. Trying to dodge answering shows good sense, however.no point....and they lead the discussion in the wrong direction
in terms of why people believe......yeah ....they are on the same shelfThese two are not as equivalent or symmetrical as your comment suggests,
Only science labors to identify and correct its errors. Religious apologists labor to defend theirs.
As has been noted repeatedly, science has also corrected some biblical errors, but the reverse has never happened.
Most Christians tacitly concede that science, not their Bibles, is the arbiter of truth about physical reality. They do so every time they tell us that their Bible predicted that the universe had a beginning before science confirmed it, but then ignore all of the differences between the two accounts.
By telling us what the scripture got right and ignoring what it got wrong, or trying to reconcile the apparent scriptural errors with claims of biblical allegory, for example, they are giving the nod to science.
If they considered their Bibles more authoritative, they'd be telling us what science got wrong, like not finding the firmament or the waters above it. Only the creationists go that route.
You can't put science and religion on the same shelf.

Congregation? You are thinking of "organized religion". "Religion" only signifies belief and worship of God or gods. I know that describes you ... or at least from what you've said on this site.not buying that
I know of no congregation to which I would fit in
