why can you not wrap your mind around the idea of something in existance being better than you?

That appears to be your problem, not mine.

if it was based in our worldy SCIENCE, it could be pointed out with certainty. but it isnt.

Exactly. It isn't based on science, so it doesn't belong in a science class. I'm glad we can agree on something.

and btw, if Theology isnt a science because we cant prove God, then Biology isnt a science because we can define Life. and thus it reasons, neither is Anthropology because we can not reproduce it, nor Paleontology.

Theology is not a science because it makes no observations, makes no measurements, formulates no hypotheses that can be falsified, etc. None of that applies to the other fields you mention. See the difference?

by your exclussion of a God, you exclude the premise of Life, therefore, you exclude the essence of Evolution, which is "grow, consume, reproduce , and die"

Another non-sequitur. I exclude only one more god than you do and that has no bearing on my view of the Theory of Evolution.

See the difference? the acts of God are observable. the mearusements matter not, just as theoretical chemistry tends to not use them either. the hypothesis is that God is alive and well and is acting, even today. Paleontology does NOT have the ability to reproduce its hypothesis in a lab. people experience God all the time. just because you refuse God, does not mean that He has refused you. open your eyes beyond what you can see. observations cant be measured if its simply a smile. what is the net worth of a smile? try this. live without breathing. you can do that for a short time, no? think of "breathing" as "evoltuion." a means to life, but not life itself. conversly, you cannot breath without living, meaning without life, evolution is impossible. now that you (hopefully) understand why i would include God with science, i think you can take a step to Truth.
