Why do you feel the need to suppose that anyone who disagrees with your dogma must be an atheist? You seem very upset.

And no, there is much evidence to suggest that bacteria are not the ancestors of more complex life forms, neither is it axiomatic that the descendant be more complex than the ancestor.

The virus, for just one example, is the most simple life form and it cannot exist without more complex life forms - thus it could not possibly be the ancestor of the more complex forms of life.

God is the lawgiver of the universe. Why? Do you know of another one?

The evidence is all around you - all you have to do is forget your ignorant supposition that you already know all you need to know and look at the evidence of the physical universe.

The fact that science adapts to evidence rather than clinging to a dogmatic primitive understanding is not a blow against science. The Bohr model of the atom may not be “correct”, and may someday be replaced by a more accurate and predictive model - but that doesn't mean the Bohr model of the atom was “wrong” - it was and is useful and predictive.

I do believe in God. Is it so hard for a god of the gaps theologist to escape the supposition that unless God created the universe through miracles that there must be no God or no need for God?

Right now stars are forming off in the universe through gravity and nuclear fusion. Are these stars not created by God? Is it not evident that gravity and nuclear fusion how God creates stars?

Do I? I don't remember yelling in caps and multiple exclamation marks.

When someone speaks of "miraculous magic", "useless creationism", etc., then yes, I assume atheism. What else would I think? Well....belief in a god of one's own design, perhaps. I'll concede that, since believing in God necessitates believing His word.

"your ignorant supposition"....."dogmatic primitive understanding"

More mockery, more nasty condescension toward the toothless hick who believes in creationism, am I right? Not a very good use of your enormous and enlightened intellect, is it? There seems to be some real anger going on here.
