Nice fallacious appeal to authority.

Setting the fallacy aside for the moment, in order to reach conclusion (3), you're going to have to demonstrate that your premises are in fact correct. I'll be charitable and spot you (2). Good luck demonstrating (1).

I don't think I need any of your charity for the premises to be reasonably accepted as they are just about self-evident. Darwin and Einstein were extremely intelligent people. As such, they were able to engage in the elementary intellectual exercise of determining what is and is not akin to a children's story for plausibility. I could also give you a long list of intelligent people, past and present, that believe in God. (establishing the same point based on the logic I have given)

Regardless, it is really irrelevant. Simply to say that belief in God is akin to believing a children's story is a claim which requires evidence in itself. And throwing out statements which aren't backed up by anything where the vast majority of mankind disagrees with you, and expecting them to just be accepted without any reason is wrong.
