No.

Ive met a few people over the years who think the moon landings were fake, somebody who genuinely believed pyramids were built by aliens and other such nonsense but never anybody who doesnt believe in evolution, to my knowledge.

Yes, I don't think my parents do, and I had friends growing up that didn't. I was raised evangelical so I didn't for a time as well, but I do now and can't stand evangelical lies.

I currently only know of one; my super hardcore Christian coworker. But thats more because shes just overall incredibly stupid than the fact that shes religious. Like comically stupid. Like Im fairly certain grade schoolers are smarter than her.

I'm sure I do, but it has never come up in conversation. But among everyone I've actually discussed the topic with, they have believed in evolution, including my very Christian parents.

I went to a catholic school as well but we were taught Evolution. Also we had intro to sex education at 5th grade that taught hygiene and other basics and then in 8th grade we had a more indepth sex ed that actually went into diseases and prevention.

Yeah, I was when I was younger and still am a bit. The indoctrination is hard to completely shake and Jesus wasn't a bad dude. I realize there probably are no gods, but I still consider myself a Christian. I haven't been to church in over 15 years, though.

I will say I absolutely despise the the religious right, and believe we would absolutely be better off without them. We probably would be all better off without religion, but there can be good aspects to them.

And I'll say that after graduating from my school in 8th grade and going to a public HS I haven't gone into a church outside of baptisms, weddings, and funerals. I came out as a lesbian as a sophomore in HS and never once looked back on my Catholic upbringing. It did help though that my experience with my school was much better than others mostly because the staff and even the priest were pretty progressive hence we learned about evolution and actually had some sex education.

wonder how that convo even came up, or why they were asking you about ants. And to discipline you for answering like that?

maybe like in the south, those catholic schools might be much more conservative compared to like northeast , nyc

My grandmother randomly went off on it one dinner a couple years before she died. I had never known her to be religious, so not sure if it was just some weird belief she held or something from her mental decline.

As our tools and understanding improve the more the theory of evolution will not be the same theory you trust today.

My mom. She's an "old universe/young earth" creationist who believes the biblical civilizations were as or more technologically advanced than we are now, that dinosaurs were genetically engineered for their meat, and the pyramids were built by spaceships. I shit you not. I have never been able to make sense of her beliefs.

How old does she think dinos are? She thinks earth is 6000 yrs old?

Pre-Noah's flood era. She believes the dinosaurs weren't allowed on the ark because they werent God's creation, and the Biblical flood is what wiped them out.

Something like that. Maybe older (like 10,000 years), but definitely not 3.5-4 billion years old. And she believes the creation story in Genesis is literal. God poofed all the animals into existence, created Adam from the earth, created Eve from Adam's rib, the garden, the snake, all that nonsense.
