Yes, Catholics are, I think, more right than the wingnut Westboro goofs, but that's a pretty low bar. I'm a former Catholic and left the church, in part, because of disagreement with many of their tenants. Westboro is a dangerous group, I think we can all agree on that.

If you're trying to draw me into a debate that no one will win or profit from, I won't engage. However, I have answered your questions. Others have tried before to draw us into arguments over theology, and those pissing matches get nowhere. If that's not your intention, I apologize for inferring that possibility.

To describe my beliefs, if you know the work of Dr. Francis Collins, it's pretty much there. Essentially, I believe in a creator as the only rational explanation for this universe that makes sense to me. It's all in Collins' book. Nothing that science has discovered has challenged my beliefs, in fact I feel each new discovery confirms my beliefs. I believe in evolution as a tool of a creator and in an old earth and old universe.

I'm getting confused trying to figure just how confused you are.
