Can you tell me more about this friend? I have many in my hometown area who are similar, so I'd be curious to hear about other archetypes.

- lbolla 9y agoEvangelical Christian, creationist, he believes the Bible literally (whatever that means, given translations and necessary interpretations). We recently engaged in various conversations and it turned out he believes that Earth is 6000 years old (which has the most bizarre consequences: dinosaurs coeval of men, palaeontology being all wrong, cosmology predicting a 11-billion-years old Universe being a conspiracy of the Devil, etc.), that the Bible predicts Heisenberg uncertainty principle and various other scientific discoveries of the 20th century (therefore, by his logic, science and religion are compatible). He is basically an incarnation of this website: http://answersingenesis.org/ http://answersingenesis.org/ Funny that he used to be the most disrespectful, unconventional and troublesome guy, which is why we became friends in the first place.

- ardit33 9y agoI once briefly dated a girl that believed in horoscopes and was dead set that it is a pre-determinator of a person's personality. And I knew another girl that believed in the healing power of gem stones. I released that irrational beliefs take many forms, not just religious (which creationism comes from), and it is a common human feature to explain things that you can't understand in ways that might make sense to you.
