The problem is that people are clicking into my threads thinking that they're going to find definite proof of God's existence. Notice that I never said proof. I said 'evidence.' There's a difference between evidence and proof. No one will ever find definite proof of God's existence, because that is not how God wants it. Belief in God is meant to be faith-based. However, I believe that there are clues all around us that point towards his existence, and that's what I'm attempting to detail.
Your title suggests otherwise. Nevertheless, even as a piece of evidence, it still fails. As pointed out many times before by other people and myself. The lack of scientists figuring out the exact mechanism for life arising on earth does is not evidence of god. It simply shows we don't know yet. Your making a leap in judgement and Caecilian did an excellent job of showing the logical fallacy used in the post above mine.

For me, it's a logical conclusion. However, I understand that atheists won't view it this way. All I'm asking is that you consider this evidence not as conclusive proof, but as a clue, or a piece of a larger puzzle.
Being a theist doesn't give you the excuse to make logical fallacies.
Furthermore, if you recognize that your evidence is not sufficient for an atheist, why the hell would you present it?
We have already considered this evidence. There is nothing you have stated that I haven't heard before and subsequently dismissed.

Tavarish answered sufficiently, I see no need to add to what he said.
