Not the best outcome
When you study enough, you'll realise that a intellectual skeptic would never convert to Christianity and especially not literalism.
I'd have to agree that literalism is a very, very unlikely outcome no matter that your i.s. has been put through. I think that Christianity or some other faith is not so impossible. As noted by many here it is an issue of faith and emotion not of reason.
Then I woke up agnostic/evolutionist and guess what?
I'm not sure I'm pleased that you've come over to the dark side Mike. It isn't for me but I do know that many get a lot out of their faith. I don't like to see it lost though, of course, many are fine with losing it. I hope you are.
This is the danger of literalism. If one's whole religious faith is tied up in opposition to obvious facts then it becomes vulnerable. This is a reason why many Christians are opposed to the fundies.
