Atheism vs. God's Existence

[AAA]

How do I not understand evolution? Is it not capable of replacing an inefficient structure with an efficient one?

Why do I believe that the designer is the Christian God? There are a few reasons. One of the main reasons is that Jesus's resurrection is the only acceptable explanation for the explosion of the early Christian church as many people were reported to have seen him alive afterword. Mass hallucinations and other explanations don't hold up. Also, I have been writing an extensive philosophy paper on the purpose of life and redefining the concept of the common good. I reached a conclusion. I realized after I had come up with that idea that it coincided perfectly with the Christian message.

And I hate the idea of an afterlife as much as you, but that doesn't change the fact that I think it is true.

The prior and more important question is why do you think the intricate 'design' of things implies a super-omni cosmic watchmaker at all?  Must every factoid regarding the arrangement of a thing's parts reflect a decision by that Guy?  Your way of thinking about this doesn't seem at all intuitive to me.

I don't 'hate' the idea of an afterlife so much as I find it silly.  It doesn't jive with what we experience.  

But since you've decided that the bible is the can't-miss reference book of the world par excellence, you just can't help using it to screen every finding of science and the evidence of your own senses.  I'm sure it isn't even a conscious decision on your part by now.  I have to say I feel a little sorry for you on this account.

Are you serious? I never even mentioned the Bible, then you say that I use it to screen every finding of science?? If we are going to stereotype, then you (as an atheist) are: arrogant and thinks they are smarter than every theist by definition; you like to do drugs and have sex a lot because there will be no punishment for a reckless lifestyle; and you think that we should all just do what makes us happy and find our own meaning in life.
