I’m afraid you’ll find little comfort or confirmation from me. Science doesn’t do God or gods. A hypothesis must be falsifiable in science (of course, since theories start out as hypothesis, they two must be falsifiable). “God did it” is not falsifiable. I can’t prove or disprove it. By the same line of reasoning, “horses and donkeys are different species where a species is defined as the largest group of organisms where two individuals are capable of reproducing fertile offspring, typically using sexual reproduction” is a hypothesis that is capable of either being confirmed or falsified by observation and testing.

It makes life more simple for me. The theory of evolution doesn’t deal with God nor does Geology and its central unifying theory of plate tectonics. However, the science of geology fits nicely with the theory of evolution with many observations that confirm evolution.

Exactly, thank you! The only confirmation or comfort I wanted from you is your consistency.

If evolution created the creatures we see today, then there is no need for a creator god, is there? 94.5% of evolutionary scientists are atheists (the highest percentage among all disciplines) for good reason.

NOMA is lame-ass excuse. It’s simply a rhetorical strategy to get Christians like BroJoeK off your back with regard to evolution. Whisper the sweet nothings into their gullible ears and they’ll swallow evolution AND their creator fairy.
