In need of a more humbleness. Why condemning the Theistic position makes no sense.

Once a long time ago I tried disproving this 'delusional' concept of a god and I found my efforts to be futile, there was never a bigger waste of time in my entire life. If the existence of a god cannot be disproved then it does not contradict reality, and if such a god did exist its power, as theists say, would be limitless.
Who said anything about evolution? By theist I take you to mean a deity with functions analogous to a human mind, except one that is infinite! And intercedes when you pray to it/him/her! And is benevolent! (Reconcile that with the evolutionary process for us while you're pretending to be all-wise, will ya?) Well, no you can't disprove anthropomorphic gods in the same way you can't disprove imps, elves, unicorns, or faeries either, but I think it's fair to say that any person who invests a large portion of their time and energy into such mythologies--taking them to be a real aspect of the world and believing their actions can influence the pleasure or displeasure of such creatures--is victim to delusion.

Well, this is the second time you have equated ideas or views I hold to religious dogmas so perhaps you'd be better off to put your foot in your mouth. Admitting that I may hold some incorrect views because I am largely ignorant of certain topics is not quite the same as being faithfully committed to an untenable or unjustified belief.
