Why do people insist that their belief is true and beliefs followed by others are false ?

Doesn't that sound too disrespectful?

Because some truths can now actually be proven to be false.
Creationist have become more aggressive, because education is improving with the help of the internet. Christian student who go to universities are faced with factual evidence that biblical stories aren’t true. This weakens their faith, and some abandon it altogether. Creationist are trying to force that faith back on people with fallacies and false science. Real science fights back. It comes down to fact. Both can’t be right. It has to be one or the other in the end. Respect isn’t an option.
@DocSavage Christianity is not the only creationist religion

Agreed, but it is one of the most aggressive one in the U.S.
@DocSavage yeah, others usually just wanna be able to practice in peace and quiet

@Babylon That’s true, and islam vaccinates its adherents from the outset by denying them even the possibility that their book is in any way wrong or untrue.
@newjaninev2 I agree entirely
@newjaninev2 do you know if Islamic creation is like Christian creation?

As in everything happened the same way or happened only a short while ago or something?

@Babylon They accept an ‘old’ Earth, but I don’t know if they agree with 4.5 billion years. They certainly aren’t fixated on a seven day schedule. They reject evolution by Natural Selection (gasp! surprise!)
