I've been around Christians of all denominations my entire life and I don't think I've ever actually met one who doesn't, at least partially, believe the theory of evolution and I've never met one who believes the world is only 6000 years old. The people that hold those beliefs are a tiny radical fringe group. However, often I see people on the internet try to paint all Christians with the broad brush of holding those radical fringe beliefs. It is a sickening straw man tactic to try to marginalize an entire group of people for their beliefs. I think many Christians in America reject evolution according to what I've read. Which may or may not be true.

TV Tome came to an end June 2005 and TV Rage August 2016. I found a newer site TV Maze, but it has little forum activity.

Oh okay. I admit I don't have much of a sense of humour.

Didn't one of the two have Joss Ackland? and I think one or maybe both had William Sadler?

I know some people who reject evolution, all of whom live in America. Users I know from TV Tome and TV Rage. Some of them Christian rejecting evolution and others who are Christian but accept the theory. There were many debates on those 2 sites about god, homosexuality, abortion and other stuff.
There's nothing to debate on any of those points as far as I'm concerned.
I take your point though.
I didn't know I was making a point. It's just there were many endless debates on TV Tome and TV Rage about all sorts of stuff. Sometimes it was funny.

Evolution is a fact and a theory depending on the context of the word. Evolution has been proven to occur and is accepted as fact. The mechanism by which it occurs is theoretical. Gravity is also a fact and a theory depending on the context of the word. Gravity exists and can be easily demonstrated. But the mechanism is still a theory. Evolution doesn't address origin and there's no compelling evidence for creationism or Intelligent Design. I don't care if someone believes a higher power set the universe in motion and evolution is a part of that plan. The ones who believe the universe is 6,000 to 10,000 years old and everything was created just as it is now (Young Earth Creationism) are rejecting science. What if evidence was put there by aliens or a higher power? Some would argue that. How would you reply to them?

Certainly.
Evolution: 100% proven fact!
Intelligent Design: believed in by insane morons.
Creationism: believed in by insane morons.

...been there once. Will never go again. Food was mediocre and the gals in their "hooter" outfits were a major distraction... Women down the gym distract me. Some are very attractive and some don't wear much clothing.

Never been. It's a place I've never understood. I mean, I'm a heterosexual male so I like big breasts- but the concept for this restaurant is like something a teenager would come up with. I don't get how adults go in there without feeling ridiculous/immature. Also, it's not like the women are topless- so what's the big appeal anyway? I wonder all if males who like women like big breasts? Or maybe some prefer smaller ones? I admit I like them to be a certain size, neither too small nor too big. But I have met many women who are very attractive though they have smaller breasts. Am I oversharing? I don't know.

I think evolution is fact and creationism is fiction. But I do hate the smugness of atheists when it comes to this topic. Such as Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris?

and how can they try to diagnose you with something in college? i don't get why people want to NOT be notified if there is something hindering them from leading an 'average and normal' life. being diagnosed means that you get certification in this diagnoses and your life becomes better. you get services that no other 'normal' people get, you get testing modifications. the AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT backs you up whenever you are in jeopardy of losing your job [that you are otherwise doing fine in]... it sucks for the rest of us who have to deal with cantankerous, exacting people but the services hopefully make these people better. that is, if they take heed to the services. many Asperger's people don't see themselves as the problem but everyone else. maybe they do have a unique way of thinking problems through, but they lack the kindness in their voices to explain themselves. they lash out, they bark at others [literally, goat scream orders out], they walk away grumbling calling people stupid. really? Mostly they complained about me not talking to others. but in my experience most people don't want me talking to them. I have had social rejection a lot. People I have tried talking to and they are funny/strange towards me. At college they treated me as if I couldn't do anything myself. I don't need help talking to others. I don't like it when people call me shy. Or when they are arrogant and condescending which is how they were at college. what am I suppose to do, talk 24/7 just to prove that I can?
If someone doesn't want me talking to them I shouldn't. It doesn't matter how friendly I may be, if they don't want me to I shouldn't. Most of the AS Criteria isn't true for me. I don't lash out or scream at others. I don't call others stupid, some have called me that though. When I was at school they never mentioned AS. I'm not pedantic, OCD or a perfectionist. I'm not tidy or above average intelligence. I don't walk on my toes or have any need for sameness or routine. I don't dislike being touched.
they were messing me about, they weren't being serious. What's the problem with me not talking to people who don't want me to? I don't like it when I have people talk down to me as I am stupid. I've had people try to bully and intimidate me, getting up in my face, having a go at me, poking and pushing me, so I have a go back. I shout back and tell them what I think. I don't care if I am rude to them. They shouldn't be talking down to me, they shouldn't be mocking, arrogant and condescending. I've come across a number of sarcastic and arrogant people. I do get sarcasm, I understand it. Some people try to bully those they view as an easy target.
At college one person said stupid things to me, such as, do you know when someone is angry? that's a stupid question. how or why wouldn't I know? I have come across many angry people before then and since then. She was mocking me. Her going on about me eating healthy. No I don't, I eat a lot of junk food. She treated me as If I am stupid. At school and college I had people sitting and staring at me. She went on about me trying to get my work perfect, that's a joke. I'm nothing like that. I'm not a perfectionist. I don't try to get anything perfect.

Keyword - unintentionally... 1. I slide the food off my fork with my teeth. I can't help it. I don't want the food touching my lips or any chance of it falling off the fork, but it really pisses people off. LoL 2. Apparently, I ask too many damn questions. Well heck, if an answer is not clear enough or I need to know details, then I ask questions. What's wrong with that?? Crap! I did it again. 3. I tend to compare everyday faces to celebrity faces. To me, every person looks like someone famous. That REALLY annoys my wife. 4. I'm a nailbiter. Sometimes when I'm in deep thought, I bite my nails, which make other people nervous or anxious for some reason. I'm sure other things annoy people, but they have not called me out on it. I talk too much and ask too many questions.
