This is yet another way of saying "no, I can't prove god exists, but if you look at things THIS way..." I already did the "theist thing" where you make your beliefs and understanding fit a preconceived notion. It no longer works to make me believe in things that aren't there. Insisting that they really are there and that I just need to pretend that I can see them doesn't work anymore.
When god shows up, let me know. Until then, if god is everything and everywhere and whatnot, then my dick is god. Worship it.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
