Ultimately, I feel sorry for folks who just give up on any sort of spiritual life because evolution has a larger amount of material evidence than creationism. But maybe they just don't want to waste their time. It's an odd subject.
This isn't why I'm an atheist. I've never had spiritual beliefs or believed in god, ever. My parents raised me as a secular jew with a congregation that is god-free - I'm sure there are congregation members who believe in god, but it isn't in the services outside of tradition and wasn't in the sunday school education I received. I was never told there was a god but I also have never been told there isn't a god, and honestly I don't know for sure what each of my parents believe because we have NEVER talked about it. (I know their thoughts on morality, and how you should live a good life, and on political aspects of religion, and we agree that certain religious figures are crazy in their extremity...but never have we discussed god.) So all on my own, I have always felt that there isn't - no spiritual connections, no logical path to thinking there should be, nothing.
