Also, from whence did you obtain your "knowledge" of evolution.
I believe its young. I obtained the knowledge I have from schooling, from reading books, and general research, as most have I would assume.
And what books have you read?
Total? Probably around 2000, if not more..along the way, many many science textbooks, origin of species, blind watchmaker, works of that nature..too many to list

Your truth you mean? Also god didn't write it, people did. Very uninformed people who knew next to nothing. You claim there is a god, now go demonstrate it. I won't be giving you and your claims any special treatment. I'm going to demand evidence as I would for any extraordinary claim.
If you can't provide any, then I will rule it out. Now there is no denial, I really don't believe in god. Still waiting for the claimers to demonstrate it's existence.
You've already ruled it out. What I believe is that you already have sufficient evidence, and you are in denial. Unless the core issues of why you don't believe are dealt with, which are almost always personal and emotional reasons, arguing with you about it isn't going to do any good. You stand on your foundation of unbelief and ask me to knock you off of it, but no one can do that. No one can argue you into faith. You have to voluntarily step away from that position of willful unbelief and only then will you be open to the truth.
Of all choices, atheism requires the greatest faith, as it demands that ones limited store of human knowledge is sufficient to exclude the possibility of God.
