Um, you think there’s evidence of “increasing complexity of life” over a period of billions of years? That may be a theory, but there’s no evidence that a genetic increase of information consistently results in more complex creatures.

It is not a theory that the evidence exists. The fossil record exists. It is tangible. Whether there is "genetic increase of ininformation" is speculation, but the evidence of increasing complexity is not.

Just an aside: Do you believe in God? If not, then of course you’ve selected a model that excludes God.

Why does a model that permits evolution have to exclude God?

Whew, you’re having some difficulty with Logic 101.

Of course the fossil record exists. But there’s more than one explanation for how it came to be. And my use of the term “theory” wasn’t in regards to “the evidence,” and you mistakenly think; “theory” is in regards to your interpretation of the evidence that there’s been increasing complexity of life over billions of years.

Finally, again, your lack of logic has you confused about my final point. My point was that if you presuppose that God does not exist, then of course you don’t believe God had a hand in “all this.” And the theory of evolution is the only theory acceptable to atheists.
