What does evolution have to do with rejecting God? For that matter, what does it have to do with getting something from nothing? Evolution describes how life has changed over time. That's all. It's the only theory available that explains the diversity of life.

Im saying, God made it all. Who says God didn't make it?

Saying that evolution or something isn't of God isn't what I believe. What is wrong with what I believe in?

Should I reject God and say it came from nothing? That isn't for me, as a Christian.

Do you understand that I believe God made it all though? God made "science" to me. What is wrong with that?
Yes, I understand that. Nothing is wrong with that. You seem really determined to find someone here who attacking you. No one is.

Now, do you understand that believing in God has nothing to do with whether you accept evolution as the explanation for the diversity of life? That is, after all, what the thread is about.

I talk to every human. Only by the grace of God. What is wrong with that?
Nothing is wrong with talking to every human. You might be in disagreement with guy named "yesyoushould", who says he has no want or need to discuss things with atheists. Maybe you should be talking to him.

I'm saying even evolution is of God.

If I report you for abuse, will you understand?
Will I understand what? That you seem really determined to find someone here who's attacking you when no one is? Yes, I'd say that will do the job nicely.
Explain that to mods please.
Sure. yesyoushould stated that he has no desire or need to discuss things with atheists. I asked if he ever spoke to atheists. He said that he spoke to everyone, apparently contradicting what he'd just said, and was kind of belligerent in his response, as he has been throughout this thread. I have no idea what's bugging him, but he seems determined to take offense at somebody.

Good enough?

I think it is completely illogical to think that the universe just exists for no reason, that man has reason from a process devoid of reason and that only the natural world explains the natural world.

I hear emotional reasoning. Or reasoning from ignorance.

I want to try something...
What exactly is it that you find so troublesome about a universe that wasn't cosmically meant for us humans to exist?

I would have no problem if that was consistent with reality, it isn't. Why do you find it so troublesome that the universe was cosmically meant for us humans to exist?

In light of this, I am unable to summon the gargantuanly arrogant level of hubris it takes to assert that it was meant for humans.
