Interesting. 2,000 to 4,000 years ago, god communicated with people by talking to them in dreams or appearing to them in person, or making the heavens roar or mountains quake. He brought the dead to life and healed the sick with a touch. He parted the seas and later walked upon them. He performed acts both fearsome and awe-inspiring.
Today, he communicates via the spiritual equivalent of tapping you on one shoulder then ducking behind the other.

"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."
