Put yourself in God shoes for a sec.
You are the supreme, you are the only and mighty God.
One day little Ton show up from nowhere and whine that god (not God)
if ever exist is a bullshit god (not God) because he doesn't show up.
As God you know that little Ton is not really interested in knowing you.
All little Ton want is the evidence that you exist.
What would you do considering that little Ton also lack proper respect for you in saying god
rather than God?
For starters, if I was little Ton's creator, I'd understand why he felt the way he did and know how to react. If I was a nice god, I'd speak directly to little Ton. I would not wait for him to "look within" or to "look beyond the material" or anything like that, because that is unnecessary. I'd take on a form he could see and interact with and say "hello."
If I was not a nice god, I'd know that I created little Ton to be flawed and confused and curious, but that I would never satisfy his curiosity. I would leave him twisting in the wind for his whole life, then do something unpleasant to him afterwards to punish him without cause. He would only ever know that I was real after his short human life was over.
If I did not exist, little Ton would be right in not wasting his time caring what I think, because there would be no god to care about.
"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."
