I do believe in God.

I believe in Physics, so yes. Either God specifically planted life on Earth 3 billion years ago, or life self-starts, and if life self-starts then there certainly should be life throughout the universe. Either case doesn't affect my salvation one way or the other.
Now I've answered your questions here are two questions I have for you.
1. Why do you accept the Latin Vulgate as "sola scriptura", and why should I accept it as more authoritative than the same Greek NT text that you have or the MT Hebrew?
2. Given that we both agree God's Word is perfect - why should I believe that the RCC has the sole right to interoperate the Bible, and that anyone else must be in error?
I'm not getting the point of these questions relating to mine....but....
1. Latin V.... ancient history as far as Catholic's are concerned.
2. I, nor the RCC ever considered the Word of God to be (sola scriptura) owned by us!
You should brush-up on your RCC facts, as not to confuse our anti friends!
