The Trap of Pure Rationalism

Out of the question. Before we assume that god did anything, you must first demonstrate that a god exists. You just want to skip the god existence thing and go straight to what he supposedly did, because you can't support god's existence, and you know it.

A does not prove B without first proving A. Demonstrate that a god exists and then we can move onto other assumptions. I won't presuppose his existence because you can't back the assertion up.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
