As for arguments for/against, the simplest remains the best: until someone produces a god, I consider them made up. I'm good with you believing in one, as long as that doesn't lead you to sacrifice babies or starve your kid or ask that they teach your beliefs in school or make your god's pet peeves into law. But I'm good without one.
"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."
