Latter day Saints has aliens. Scientology has aliens.

That ability to tolerate and have an open mind starts here on our planet with each other. So do I think that religion is a load of ancient crap? Well to be honest yes but I will not be the guy who is so close minded to tell them they are all wrong because I seriously don't care. Humans have a wonderful and colorful past and it is important to reflect on that so we know how we went wrong so our mistakes may never happen again. History is full of intolerance and that has led to countless lives lost because of it. Don't let that be you.

Kanati never said he was wrong.

He simply said that he should entertain the possibility that he is wrong.

You missed the mark by a mile on that one.

I don't think so but if you must say so then so be it. I'm not here to argue.

Yet we allow things we don't have facts to support them to be taught in classrooms as fact. Speciation in evolution is a perfect example of that, among many other things.

Some light reading material for you.

Here's some reading for you from the same link:

A plausible model: We have several plausible models of how speciation occurs—but of course, it’s hard for us to get an eye-witness account of a natural speciation event since most of these events happened in the distant past. We can figure out that speciation events happened and often when they happened, but it’s more difficult to figure out how they happened. However, we can use our models of speciation to make predictions and then check these predictions against our observations of the natural world and the outcomes of experiments. As an example, we’ll examine some evidence relevant to the allopatric speciation model.

You do realize this is a fancy way of saying "We believe this is what happened and we think what we see today looks to us like evidence of it, but we don't really know." In fact, belief in speciation with regard to evolution has a lot in common with the way religious believers believe things. Evolution as religion? Faith in things unseen that happened a long long time ago being true? Interesting.

So whose religion is better - yours or mine? Who decides that?

The word inference is apparently not in your vocabulary.

Everything is a competition to you right? Whose Govt is better, whose religion is better, whose wife has better knockers....

You are arguing semantics. Words used to convey an idea can always be bent to someone's interpretation when you argue that way.
