Morals, law, and faith all come from human beings.
Why would we be more intelligent if we were millions of years old (we're billions, btw, 3.5 or so..oldest undisputed evidence)....why would the world be worse, or alot worse, why would you expect to see something evolve into a human being, and why do you think the ease with which something can be said is relevant to it's accuracy?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So, only those things founded by God make sense. These would include genocide, genital mutilation, infinite punishment for finite transgressions, substitutive human sacrifice, animal sacrifice, slavery, etc ad nauseum.

Why cannot science objectively find just one example out of trillions, where we can say, yeah, that thing right there, it shouldn't happen like that but it does, repeatedly.
That thing goes against what is logical or possible in our universe.
Example: People go back to Fatima, pray en masse for a sundance and on queue the Sun dances! For all the world to see?
Maybe it is the work of a God?  They prayed to a God and a God responded... Makes logical sense.
But if God is going to act exactly like he doesn't exist in our universe, theists, why on earth do you even assume that he does?
What compels you to go against the grain of logic and common sense and dedicate your life to a particular myth from millions of other man made myths?
We just need one tiny example for God to show us something, but even that is asking too much for a non existent God.
Funny how everything in the world seems to make more sense when you take any extra unnecessary baggage out of the picture. (Occams)
Yeah, the world is a cruel place for the most part, but how is believing in something not real going to help anything or anyone.
Have we really reduced our species to relying on false hope to get by? We must have: 80% of the world does it.
(Even at the quantum level, weird shit happens, that isn't God! Why would the creator of the universe need to hide inside of atoms while we're all outside?
That's how our universe has been for 14 billion years, we're just discovering it now (last 100 years -through knowledge and technology.)
I disagree. anything that isnt founded by god himself in his word dosnt make sense. Like coming from apes/monkeys. No one has seen one evolve into a human. If we were millions of years old we would be more intelligent then we are now. The world would be alot worse. Its more easier to say someone created everything then big bang. Which by the way is unproven. Where do morals come from? and law? what about faith in something?
What makes you think we came from monkeys?
Evolution points to humans and apes having a common ancestor, at least get your facts correct before you try to use them
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Because it says so right there in the bible! We were "poofed" into existence! The word of God is not negotiable!
So sad....
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

If the world were not billions of years old there would be no time for starlight to have arrived from the edges of the universe, no time from granite to have cooled, no time for the natural reactors in Gabon to have decayed to harmlessness, no time for the secular equilibrium of the uranium decay series to be established. The universe attests to the fact that it must be unspeakably old.

Why would we be smarter than we are? We would likely be more advanced than we are, but for the dark ages.
Why would the world be worse than it is? It’s actually a better and safer place to live in now (statistically) than at any other point in human history.
You might want to look up how evolution works instead of repeating creationist nonsense.

The best proof of God are the astoundingly great and accomplished lives of His most devoted believers; the canonized saints of the Catholic Church.
