Aww, aren't you adorable. I'm the only atheist in a Christian family with a brother in law and a father with a PhD and an MD, I'm quite used to having my beliefs questioned boyo.

The burden for the veracity of your God is yours, evolution is a scientific theory not a casual theory and if you reject even that much then there is no conversation here because you are not rational. If you cannot accept that we descend from other species then go bury yourself in your bible and leave the talking to the adults.

The burden is not mine to bear, you refuse to accept scientific fact. If you cannot accept the work of those in the field of science, then the burden is yours to bear to prove them wrong. You're up to bat little man and we, those who subscribe to rationality and science, are waiting.
I subscribe to both. I just do not worship them as you do.
