What would it take for you to believe in God?

God had to pay me dinner first, before any chance of loving. And people say I'm not romantic!

Your turn. Oh, and calling it "Darwinism" is just a creationist ploy to make it seem evolutionary theory is contingent upon the writings of one man. It isn't. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
Depends what you mean:
Religious gods like the one in the bible and the vedas then no they are false as most claims made about them are false. Deistic god:evidence.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I won't say I ever succeeded (I didn't), but I really wanted to believe. So, I got down on my knees and prayed. I asked. I begged, I cajoled. I offered trades and bribes. I got absolutely fuck-all in response. Now, would you please present some evidence or take your snake-oil salesmanship somewhere else?!?

I gave you that all the way back on page three when you first began this ridiculous line of argument. You squawked about it all being up to interpretation, which to me just shows that you don't understand evolution, didn't bother to even look at what I'd given you, and have no interest in learning, just in preserving the conclusions you've already come to by dishonestly reducing everything down to opinions. Well, fine: if you want to play in a solipsistic world where everything is opinion, then you'd better stop thinking you can ever prove or know that god exists, or that your religion even exists. After all, everything is opinion, right? Or is it actually the case that some things can be objectively known?

Why do you think they update flu vaccines each year? Why do people keep catching colds instead of becoming immune after their first one? Why are there dozens of "transitional" forms? What part of evolution do you not understand or agree with?
