Non sequitur. The existence or lack thereof of God is as irrelevant in attemtping to discern the action of biological evolution as it is in trying to discern the motions of the planets or the decay of radiactive atoms. Equally, the action of evolution, the motions of the planets and the decay of radioactive atoms says nothing yea or nay aboutt he existence or lack thereof of God.

I disagree, this is not a non-sequitur. The reasonableness or unreasonableness of the theory of common descent rests on an assumption that there has been no supernatural interference in the origin of life.

I believe in God, therefore a supernatural world. This belief is reasonable based on what I have observed. It follows logically that on omnipotent God could have created the world in 6 days.

This may appear to be an unreasonable belief to some who do not believe in God or a supernatural world. Therefore my question remains, is it unreasonable to believe in God?
