Yes, that is the difference. You need to feel that your narratives are possible, and so you assume they are ignoring the mountains of evidence to the contrary. I make no such assumption. I don;t think schizophrenics wrote the bible by the way, I don't think the people who came up with and modified these stories were hearing voices of any kind. They appear to have been telling stories. Here you are making assumptions again..assuming that anyone heard anything in the first place.
It means no such thing. I don't know how a telephone works, but I don't need to dial my faith line before I place a call. It's honest to say "we can't say for certain". We have a pretty good idea of how these things could happen, we have observations which lead us to believe that our theories have merit. You have nothing. Don't even attempt to equate your faith with science.
When I say fact I mean fact, when I say theory I mean theory, learn the difference and google it if you have doubts. You don't have to take my word for anything. Is there any fact in particular that you take issue with? Perhaps the fact that we can't make monsters jump out of jars of peanut butter? What do you have to offer me beyond your word? Nothing. I'm beginning to think that you're not confused, but deliberately deceitful.
Yeah sorry, typo. You've misrepresented the theory. The links I gave you cover the broad strokes (and link to the fine strokes).
Ah, well you have a proposition but no evidence. At some point you'll have to bring some to this party. No design, no designer, no "greatness" based on a non-existent design from a non-existent designer. I know you want to skip the tough part but I'm afraid your arguments won't work unless you can establish the foundation in the first place.
That's the big question is it? Looks like you're trying to be evasive and move on to something new without addressing anything that's been brought to your attention whatsoever. Typical fundy shit.
