What evidence do you have for any of this?
The Bible is not evidence, it is the claim.
Quote:I am not going to debate on evolution because it does not matter to the question of the existence of God.
True.
Whether or not a god exists is a question that requires evidence and reasoned argument. Got any?
Quote:We should embrace the search for the truth.
Very true.
But what do you think is the best path to truth, if not demonstrable evidence and valid/sound logic?
Faith certainly is not effective.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
