The same life that exists now did not exist 3 billion years ago....this is fact in the scientific sense . Cyanobacteria in oldest rock layers and zero humans or trilobites or dinasaurs or worms or baby snakes. Slightly younger rock layers only primitive multicellular and bacteria, younger yet trilobites still no moles chipmunks dogs baby humans etc etc. that is fact and all the scientific evidence supports only evolution or a god that tricked us to believe evilution.

Your argument is a classic logical fallacy that was thoroughly debunked hundreds of years ago. No serious Christian apologist dares use it any more. For a quick summary of why it's completely bogus, see <a href="http://wiki.ironchariots.org/index.php?title=You_can%27t_prove_God_doesn%27t_exist" rel="nofollow">You Can't Prove God Doesn't Exist</a>.<br /><br />In a nutshell, you can't prove ANYTHING doesn't exist. Not your Yahweh, nor Thor, nor Vishnu, nor little green men living on the moon. It's an empty argument.<br /><br />You're asking me to disprove a god who supposedly is omnipotent an omniscent, yet created flawed humans who sinned, so he impregnated a virgin, who then had his child, but the child was really the god, but then he arranged for the very same humans he created to torture and murder himself, and somehow anyone who believes this is forgiven for sins they never committed in the first place ...<br /><br />Did I get that right? I'm supposed to disprove that?Craig A.

If you can't prove it, then who do you think you are that you can state with absolute certainty that God doesn't exist? If you boil your argument down to its simplest form, all you have is an opinion with fancy language designed to complicate the matter. In fact, you have just as much faith in the opposite direction as one with religious beliefs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381224391260954323.post-53086498224130292612009-07-22T06:09:06.903-07:002009-07-22T06:09:06.903-07:00Anon:

Unlike the anti-evolution position, which is based on faith and ignoring the evidence, the science behind evolution is something you can study and learn about for yourself. The discoveries that we call the "Theory of Evolution" need not be taken on faith, they can be verified by any competent scientist. More importantly, they have been. There are thousands of great books about evolution. Have you read any of them? "The Blind Watchmaker" is a great starting point.Craig A.
