Was at least the first life form created?

The last part is clear - Through hundreds of years of painstaking analysis of the universe and it's nature there has never been a single piece of positive evidence for God - If you really care enough about your children to want them to have a solid foundation of truth, you must acknowledge that none of the reasons for believing in God are from objective evidence and that the reason you do not accept evolution is because it is incompatible with the fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible that you so value over objective evidence.

hock:

You really think you have a lock on the "truth" don't you. This keeps getting funnier all the time.

I said that you would be lying to your children if you told them there is scientific evidence for God. I stand by that statement, unless you have evidence to prove otherwise.

Evolution is so thoroughly grounded in evidence that your rejection of it boils down to either incompatible ideologies (you value your existing conclusions over objective evidence), a misunderstanding of evolution (you have either inadequate or incorrect concepts and facts), fear of the implications of accepting evolution(losing your social ties with the all-or-nothing breed of fundamentalists) or all of the above.

Denying something so evident in favor of primitive, mythological explanations is the epitome of ignorance and frankly shows an innate weakness; your desire for the comfortable, complete and absolute concept of God despite the lack of evidence for and in the face of so much contradictory evidence against.

It all comes down to this: The scientific method is the single most reliable methodology that our species has ever known when it comes down to separating fact from fiction - no single methodology has achieved more for our species. From medicine to electronics, physics to engineering, mathematics to chemistry - nothing has given our species more, nothing has shown us more truth, not your ancient religious myths, not the new age superstitions, not the spiritualism of the eastern world.

I see no need to belabor this conversation. But I do want to address one thing...

Your insistence that there is an absolute truth is absurd.

Is that absolutely true or only relatively true?

It's quite clearly an opinion, or were you incapable of making that distinction on your own?
