That the egyptian religion is true because there are still people who practice the cult of Osiris and read from the book of the dead. That Islam is true because there are still Muslims and even better it is the fastest growing faith. Where does this nonsense argument stop. If it really is the most convincing bit of proof, then you should consider your position as a theist immediately.

And Jesus will come back and judge us all in the lifetime of his own apostles. Nearly 2000 Easters later not a freaking sign. You can make any BS claim like this and when folks examine the facts, guess what it turns out to be BS, just look at those who follow Nostradamus.

Don't give me the "it takes thousands of years" excuse, because if that was the case, they should be finding things all over the places of creatures in all stages of development.This is an ignorant and tiresome argument. Please educate yourself on biology (monkeys and apes are not the same) Evolutionary Theory, what it means to descend from a common ancestor. The reason why there are still apes, and incidentally humans are apes too, is because they evolved, like us, in an environment which shaped their evolution, from a common ancestor we both shared. The human race (sorry to disillusion you) is not the end game for evolution at all, primates in particular, and apes specifically. The reason is evolution has no end goal, it is a pitiless and remorseless process of adaptation to environment.
It is a bit like me asking if the gospel according John is true, why is there still the gospel according to Matthew? Shouldn't Matthew have been rewritten to become John? Because John is the best gospel and following it is the end goal of xtianity.
Salty you are one of those scary theists aren't you!
