Not am I saying that they deny any god at all, but a specific God, the God of the Bible, who is the God who will judge them.

Well, you're assuming your conclusion, and you're ignoring the fact that there are people who claim to follow the God of the Bible, who believe that this God will be the judge of all and who believe that evolution is a viable theory.

Because, plainly put, if Biblical creationism is true, then you are not your own god, nor am I; we are creatures. And there is such a God as the Bible depicts, and He will judge us.

Given that Islam and Judaism use the same creation story, your "if Biblical creationism is true" actually implies at least three possibilities. Of course, I find it interesting that most creationists only present their version of Creationism as a possible alternative to evolution, even though there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of creation stories throughout human history. Why is yours so special that it receives exclusive consideration?

They translated it into English. Maybe that makes it "special".

That's why, when someone gives some rambling argument that they think "proves" the existence/involvement of a deity in some manner, I like to tell them that they've convinced me, Shiva (or Zeus, or Ra the sun god, etc.) must exist after all. Praise Shiva!

Not so fast.

The purpose of the posting was to explain my point, that you had missed -- what, three times?

Do you understand the point, now? And how the "atheism" bit shoots wide of it?
