What selected evolution and natural selection?
That question is literally nonsense. Evolution is simply a function of the fact that the genetic replication process that life goes through to reproduce is imperfect and leads to errors (mutations) that alter the form of the offspring; you keep mentioning how everything being designed so well is evidence for a god, would you then logically have to admit that such an imperfection in our reproductive process is evidence against one?
As to natural selection, that's just a consequence of the fact that once those offspring are born they have to exist in physical space, and that some will be better suited to that space due to their mutations, and some worse off.
Again, I ask: what is your level of education regarding evolution?
Quote:Oh no, I believe in evolution and agree with it, just a bit differently. We can bypass evolution and get into atheism as a proof of God. I do not believe atheism would exist without god, I really don't. One poster here said it pre existed theism, and a mind devoid of awareness of god, is thus atheist. I agree with that, primordial man was atheist, and I cannot see then theism arising out of a world of atheism.
Atheism doesn't entail perfect rationality. Theism arose when the first theist decided that arguments from ignorance about magic serve as better explanations than just waiting for evidence, and invented a special magic man to explain the things he didn't understand. Theism was born when an atheist decided to be wrong about something; that's not evidence for a god.
