Or, keep cherry picking what you read for the tiny morsels that seem to prop up your beliefs. No skin off my ass either way.
As has already bee pointed out, appeal to authority. Unless your Neurosurgeon (or any of those other thousands of people) also has a PhD in the supernatural?
You gonna bring any actual evidence or are you gonna keep flinging anecdotes and testimonials like an orangutan flinging shit?!?
So far he only seems to be able to bring arguments from the bottom of his colon. To say that there's no controversy 13 years later with the BBT is simply intellectual laziness and dishonesty. Sure the media won't report on the controversy, because the media doesn't
want the sacred cow of atheistic materialism criticized for it's shortcomings, but the controversy is there no matter how much you deny it. Scientists in general tow the line, because to rock the boat often means risking funding, science has little to do with
an unbiased search for truth. And by saying more scientists believe in BBT than not, then you are appealing to authority yourself, while denying others the right to do so. Please read "Dogmatism in Science and Medicine: How Dominant Theories
Monopolize Research and Stifle the Search for Truth" by Henry H. Bauer. Don't worry, you prefer your own opinions so I know you won't bother.
They got you to swallow the hook, line and sinker, didn't they.
Why don't you educate yourself on these topics instead of attempting to poke holes in the theories in a vain attempt at propping up your ridiculous beliefs.

The silence is deafening. And so very revealing.
We know this from the beauty of the Universe and from His Divine Revelation, our sins are what mar this world, sins which are "evil" which Atheism can't explain.
Beauty is entirely subjective, there is no demonstration that anything divine has revealed anything and sins are a made up concept.
Try again.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.

Beauty is not subjective at all, why do babies smile at a beautiful face smiling at them, but when you put on a scary mask they cry, even though no one "taught " then the difference between the two . Search in Youtube Baby sees Scary Mask Prank. Babies don't like scary masks because they have an innate notion of beauty and "anti-beauty" .
Beauty is an objective reality which has to do with proportion and symmetry, and sin and evil are objective realities inexplicable by Materialists, just study murder cases to see evil and sin exist.

Atheism doesn't explain anything. It doesn't claim to. You still don't even know what it is.

If these are the case, as you assert, then you should be able to demonstrate the existence of beauty, sin, and evil outside of human responses. Can you do that, or is this just a blind faith that you have, borne of a lack of competing explanations to your misunderstandings?

Whoops, it looks like you're going to give your god credit for evil and sin. Or did some other agent beyond his control do that? Or was he surprised by the outcome of his own actions?

Babies are also known to react like that when the person puts on a neutral blank face. It's got fuck all to do with beauty.
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.'

As has been pointed out by Cephus, beauty is subjective. I can demonstrate this easily: If beauty were objective, we would all agree on what is beautiful and what is not beautiful. We don't. One person's "Hubba hubba!" is another person's "Meh" or "Ew!"

Yeah, beauty is definitely subjective. Any artist will tell you that. I've been through enough art classes to see exactly how that can change from person to person.
