I think we`re a school project of a student in a very advanced society, outside our universe.
"You have to construct a basic universe for your homework. It has to last at least 30 billion years, maybe put some life here and there. Nothing special, just some temporary primitive beings."
Two bacteria living in a petri dish cultivated by a scientist are hanging out one day. One says to the other "let me tell you about my personal relationship I have with The Great Lab Coat In The Sky."
Evolution and the size/timescale of the universe do not disprove God but it does indicate, to me anyway, that God is neither personal, nor perfect, nor omni-benevolent, nor all powerful.
How could the creator of a 13.5 billion year old universe complete with hundreds of billions of galaxies possibly relate to relatively microscopic beings on a pale blue dot?
How could a benevolent god use a system that is as red in tooth and claw as evolution?
Why wouldn't an all powerful god just poof us into existence as desired instead of a slow, millions of years process?
Plus, if evolution is true, Christianity is not. Christianity tells us that death came into the world by sin. Sin came into the world by Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve were the first humans. Humans came into the world by evolution. Evolution necessarily requires death as part of its driving process. So death (and sin) had to have existed before humans if evolution is true. Game. Set. Match.
