If you want to believe that in the vastness of space there is another race of creatures more advanced than us in technology, with no proof to back it up might I add, why the hell can't I believe that a loving creator blessed us with life some thousands of years ago? My beliefs require the use of one other of those words that you don't like to hear: Faith.

And your personal beliefs, if they stayed just with you, would be fine. I'm not arguing that we need to force people not to believe in religion. I, personally, believe that faith in that form is bad to a rational mind, but that is another discussion and, really, I don't care if you believe what you do. It doesn't effect me. Except, of course, when creationists try to come into public schools funded by my taxes and try to brainwash my future children into thinking something that goes against every law of reality in existence, and then proceed to tell them that it's "science." That, I do have a problem with, and I will argue against it with all my power, as little as that is.
