At 7, one side I had the school/dinosaurs magazine version, on the other side the Catholic catechism version of creation, the school/dinosaurs magazines made more sense to me, also this kind of invisible stuff you can enter in contact with, I tried but always founded it weird, anyhow since that age I never stopped to go in the same direction, with a bit more depths...

EDIT: Oh sorry, I answered in the sense of my 'non-religious beliefs'.

Quick point: The Catholic Church is not and has not been "creationist" for quite some time. 

Well, I'm sorry, but my catechism, that was a quite classical one (even if in Aubazine, the place I was in during that epoch had some kind of very fervent new catholic groups which by some aspects could make think to some evangelical groups, but the priest of that village was a very classical Catholic one), in which I've been taught the creation in 7 days and all the classical stuffs without going through eventual subtleties between the texts and their eventual metaphorical contents, that was basic and linear and with beautiful draws that were very pleasant, and done by a couple of nice olds, and this was this way maybe because they taught 7 years old then didn't want to go too far, dunno, but that was like that, and I made a choice between it and other sources at that age, maybe sometimes reality doesn't directly fit in 'big very well known schemes', way to say it.

Not sure exactly, but then who could possibly define the exact age at which they become able to think logically and rationally?

More often than not, one's religious beliefs transform somewhat over time. I am interested in hearing about the age forumers came to realize the beliefs they currently hold. Nothing about these beliefs, of course, is obligated to be in any way logical or rational. Hell, I'm not even sure if my own beliefs are logical or rational.

Ok, but any supposition that doesn't abide by the simple rules of logic and rationality is inherently counter-intuitive.

Unless I misunderstand something here, rather, I'd say that when you decide to pass off the facts to a more or less big extent, then you can just base yourself on intuition, that's more intuitive than counter-intuitive then.

Other than that, outside of the fact that 'rules of logic and rationality' seem to have changed throughout History, even if a lot of things can be commonly accepted in a more or less consensual way, facts can change according to viewpoints, and few subtleties here or there in some viewpoints can change a lot of things.
