Evolutionary Tree

[RobertE]

That is what I ask theists all the time. If I ask how the world came into being, they come back with a relatively simple, "God created it." Ask them for facts, and they will seldom bring anything to the table apart from the usual lines spouted by everyone else who is linked with any religion in this world. So, if "God created the earth", and you cannot bring facts to the table, this in itself is a "theory", and in this "theory", the definition is "hunch", a "notion", a "prescience", or why not "funny feeling", instead. You'll be surprised to find the antonyms of this:

"Knowledge", "Trust", "Reason", "Proof", "Truth", etc etc.

So, you have a "funny feeling", that God created the earth and all beings too. You are not certain of this. 

I have a link just for you and perhaps other theists (I don't know if you are a theist or not so, apologies in advance if you are not)

Did I call anything related to God creating the world a 'fact'? No, so you are answering my question with "you don't have any facts either"?

Therefore I have to stand by the default response, unlike you. If you cannot give proof that God created the universe, earth, the species and of course, all the nasty bacteria and viruses that kill people, then you have to accept the consequences of being ridiculed. Personally, I don't mind christians, muslims, sikhs or hindus on this forum, since some are nice to talk to. However, when it comes to evolution, you stand by a 2,000+ year old theory that the world was created in 7 days. For example, what makes Noah so special that he has to live to hundreds of years old, when even today, the life expectancy of someone who lives in Sierra Leone is around 49 years of age for a male? As for evolution in itself, it is still happening. Have you ever asked yourself as to why elephants have smaller tusks compared to over a 100 years ago? Here is an article that shows that God isn't behind this miracle of nature. Without realising it, poachers have indeed inadvertently aided evolution and proved Darwins theory.
