1. If God is so powerful, why doesn't he appear on earth?
Why should he?
2. The Bible was written by man. Why believe in someone else's opinions?
Nearly all the beliefs you have were informed by someone else's opinion.
3. We evolved from apes. Fact. Not from someone's rib.
No one claims we evolved from apes. Nor that we evolved from someone's rib, nor even created from someone's rib. Your scientific and theological illiteracy is intensely worrisome. I think you are not nearly ready enough for "ammo" on these deeper issues, as you scarcely understand elementary issues.
4. I have a lot of Christian friends, and I don't know one of them who didn't have sex before marriage.
I fail to see how this is relevant to anything.

called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.
