There is a difference between believing God and some random man off the street.
Paul was just some random Guy off the street?
The guy whose letters are the foundation of Christianity, was just some random guy?
The Guy who was tutored by Gamaliel, was just some random guy off the street?
The guy who persecuted the early Christians and had a miraculous conversion, was just some random guy off the street.
The guy who was imprisoned, beaten, and eventually beheaded for his beliefs, was just some random guy off the street?
How come I'm just finding this out now

If you think we all evolved from a single organism, provide the proof.
"If I pretend evolution is something that it isn't, I accept evolution!"
But under a real understanding of evolution and not Huggy's Imagination Funtimes, you deny evolution.
And you do so, in fact, by shifting the burden of proof: since it's an established fact that species change, you are positing the existence of a mechanism that would stop that before the organism changes too much, and that's something you need to provide proof for. Otherwise, the thing we've observed to happen will keep happening.
Balls in your court baby...
