Is it too late to jump off JL's no-scientist bandwagon? Because I have an astronomy bent (fortunately it doesn't show in these slacks).
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

No, stop messin' about!

More importantly, you don't get to tell us what we think. We'll tell you. In this case, it's a very well documented scientific fact how the planet was formed: gravity acts upon particles, drawing them in to form the core of the planet, and then drawing in more, and more, etc. You're not going to get away with an argument from ignorance here.

My dad doesn't go on sites like this...
Did you SEE any of that happen? How do you know it happened? Maybe you atheists have more faith than you give yourselves credit for.

If your dad had courage he would come here but I think he knows he would not stand a chance. That's the real reason, even though you don't think so.

Plus where I live over 90% of people are Christians.

Numbers fallacy.

I've already answered that in another post by comparing that to saying that the majority of people in the world are of Asian descent, therefore being Asian is right and being European, like myself, is wrong.

Is that correct?

Oh, and if you really want to play that game, the majority of people in the world aren't Christian, therefore Christianity is wrong.

Using the Appeal to Popularity with a group that can't poll better than 32%? Makes sense!
"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."
