I heard an evolutionist say that the only reason he believed in evolution was because the alternative was belief in God.
You are so right about the raging the atheists do in opposition to God and those who believe. If they truly believed He didn't exist, then they wouldn't care whether or not others believed. It's a lame excuse to claim they really oppose all the bad things believers have done in God's name. They conveniently forget all the horrible things done by atheist nations and leaders. One day, they will no longer be able to deny He IS but it will be too late.
That was a fail on several different levels. Obviously the first being that that isn't how scientific conclusions are carried out; you can't start with a conclusion then pick and choose which data to believe after-the-fact.
Now, for the deeper level; I'm not saying evolution is true. But IF it is...it still doesn't disprove God. It could help explain why there's such a diversity of species but it can't account to where the FIRST life form came from. The leap from non-living matter to life is beyond impossible to make naturally.

That's one of the glaring hypocrisies I can't ignore from atheists. Always quick to point out the Inquisition (and act like atheists were the primary targets instead of Protestants), always quick to cover up the communist purges of the last century (which have a WAAAY higher body count).
