Another thing to keep in mind though is that something isn't true based on the number of people that believe it to be true.
Here's my story: I used to scoff at the theory of evolution and took every opportunity I could to lambast it. Then one day I tried lambasting it to someone who knew more about the theory than I did. I decided at that point to actually *learn* about the theory - mostly because I just *knew* it was flawed and my increased knowledge of the theory would only strengthen my arguments against it.
Funny thing happened. The more I learned about it, the fewer and fewer holes I found in it. Then one day it hit me - maybe all of these scientists that have been studying this for 150+ years actually had it right. Evolution was the best explanation.
So now - because I have been there - I implore anyone who has problems with the theory of evolution to actually *learn* about the theory. And not from the "answers in genesis" or "ex nihilo" or ICR websites. Make a real effort to learn and then if you still have problems with the theory, at least you'll be able to debate it using sound logic.
