Therefore if you are not intelligent enough to see through the cause of your predisposition, then you would tend to mindlessly surrender to your predisposition to grasp at straws to maintain the dilusion that you habe have some intrinsic value beyond your agilities and achievements through such insipid fantasies as the christain god, almost like a monkey would mindlessly surrender to his predisposition to howl at banana and throw his own feces.


You still havn't proved why human life is more valuable than amoeba's. You can call me an idiot a thousand times and that won't signify anything other than I am an idiot. Evolution doesn't disprove Christianity and in fact many of the main thinkers of evolutionary science have been Christian.

You are not really arguing anything, you are just repeating propaganda.

Let me give an example of why simple cellular organisms are more important than you. Certain bacteria kill disease. Animals rely partly on these too. Your bacon stops going in your fridge. Your local police station no longer helps you out. You die, and the world is forever dominated by bacterium. So, do you think that these "good bacterium" are more important keeping your species from going extinct than just you?
