I made it to 13.
You may have just taken a direct hit! You stated earlier that evolutionary theory is essentially true. However, you have now claimed that it is foolish to believe in God without certain, irrevocable proof that she exists. The problem is that there is no certain proof that evolutionary theory is true - even though there is overwhelming evidence that it is true. So it seems that you require certain, irrevocable proof for God's existence, but accept evolutionary theory without certain proof. So you've got a choice: I bit the bullet. I believe in evolution because there is more evidence that suggest it is true. There is little or no evidence suggesting the existence of a god (Much like the Boogie Man). There are millions of species that have evolved rapidly during the time span of humans. Why couldn't humans? Well we have and continue to. Just in the last 100yrs the average man went from 5'8" to 6'2". Our oldest ancestors are about 4 million years old and where much like chimps than we are today. About 2 million years ago this species evolved into Homo habilis and started crafting tools from stone and bones. Then about 1.5 million years ago Homo erectus used fire and lived in groups or families. So to rap this up Modern man showed up about 130,000 years ago and "God" showed up about 6000 years ago and sends his son to tell the world about 2000 years ago. Why did God take so long to show up? I say things were bad back them so a small group formed and created something that people could follow. Then a smaller group broke off and then another and so on. Now we have wars in the name of god. In evolution there is no holy war just survival through the winter. Well this should piss off a few of you. I don't expect to be getting fresh hot baked muffins anytime soon.
