Humans are born with no knowledge. The only reason one person is christian and another believes in hinduism is the fact that their parents "told" them to belive that.

Nuh uh. Sorry, not true. Plenty of people become Christians because of urgings from others later in life, when you have your set of prejudices (common sense).

You will never see a Christian want to convert to hinduism because worshiping Cows makes more sense. And you will never see a hindu wanting to believe that if someone splashes water on your head and you drink some alcohol you will have eternal life.

Now you`re extremely incorrect. Christianity, like many other religions, has sects. Only certain (incorrect) sects believe getting dunked and drinking saves your soul.

But you will see people recognizing science and evolution and leaving the beliefs that they grew up with.

And you will see people being mislead and lied to as well. Evolution, though evidenced, isn`t the super-answer that many make it out to be. There are problems that evolution cannot conquer. I have little doubt that evolution occured on this planet, and yet I am still a Christian. You notice, in Genesis, life began in the sea, just as evolutionists now hypothesize life began around deep sea vents.

I can fit 15 billion years into six days. All you need is a fundamental grasp on the law of relativity. We judge time from earth`s standpoint, whereas, in the beginning, there was no earth. I can`t explain it nearly as well as Gerald L. Schroeder can in The Science of God.

Extremes are rarely correct.
