Hello from Stile!!

I wouldn't call myself a creationist nor would I call myself an evolutionist.

What do you consider "an evolutionist" to be? I can think of two main possibilities:

Anyone who accepts evolution as a valid truth/fact
Someone who is also an atheist

In my experiences, there are many people who believe in God and also accept evolution as a fact.

Creationist's apply a narrow view of literalism to language.

For the most part, I agree with this sentiment.

Evolutionists hinge their belief system on science based on empirical evidence and a human codification of the natural world through ancient artifacts and dating methods--perhaps, in my view at least, neglecting the spiritual side of mankind.

This sounds... oddly specific. I'm not sure if there are many people within this "evolutionist" definition.

It certainly is very easy to have a spiritual side of mankind, accept evolution as a fact and not be a Christian by any definition (even to the point of being an atheist).

This forum unfortunately was a gateway drug of sorts for a long and sordid life of message boards and online escapism for me.

Heh... don't forget about real life, even if only for the reason that it supports your ability to post here. Forget about real life for long enough, and you'll be forced to stop posting here (no money = no internet).
But, hopefully you'll have other more important reasons to not forget about real life.

Don't worry about this place. Have fun here when you have time for it... the messages are all saved, they're not going anywhere. Answer when you have a chance.

I got involved in a born again church for a few months...

I am interested in hearing more about that, if you care to share.
What were some of the good experiences?
What were some of the bad experiences?

Welcome back, and take your time!
