Please stop telling us what we do and don't believe, as far as I know, psychics aren't real which means you aren't one.

Yes actually it's a very grey area. Just because I don't believe god created the universe, it doesn't neccessarily mean I believe it came from nature either, it just means I don't believe your particular god claim.
Let me put it this way:
I have a jar of sweets
The amount of sweets in the jar can only be even or odd
I tell you that they are odd
Do you believe me?
No?
Then does that mean you believe the amount of sweets in the jar is even?

Ohhh I really think you do. Talking snakes, rib women and magic trees. There's less magic in harry potter.

What kind of law is that? When did they pass it?

You can either treat them separately and get attacked from two different angels...or you can loop them in together and get double the attack. Pick your poison.
I don't think you actually answered his question there.

So something can't come from nothing except your god. Are you familiar with the special pleading fallacy?

That's not an answer to his question.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
