Congratulations agent_509
Your story really is quite similar to mine. I used to be a very fundamentalist Christian (YEC, the works). Then, after starting to study geology, in my first year, a person, who pretended to be a "geologist", came to preach at our Church. He lied within his first sentence. And he kept on. And on. His untruths were obvious to me with just a few months of studying very basic geology. In the end, I was not even allowed to talk to this "PhD", not to mention even questioning him. He got his money and left.
It was only later that I realized he had no PhD in Geology at all, but just some religious "degree" from an American degree mill. That started me off on a course of questioning everything. In the end, I realized that creationists always tell untruths. No exceptions. You can even see these untruths in this thread. They always tell untruths.
I didn't really believe in any god after that, but I carried on thinking I believed, because I thought I had no other option. I believed in believe. Thanks to Richard, I realized that I could. I broke away.
Question everything!
