Yet Stephen hawking, albert einstine, neil degrasse Tyson, Richard dawkins, laurance krauss, matt dillinhauly all say there is no reason to belive that a god has anything to do with the creation of the universe and that we are clearly nothing more than an advanced species of primape

How foolish.

They're entitled to their opinions. Just like Langan is entitled to his.

only roughly 10 % of the intellectual elites believe that a god exists

See the part of the 'clever arguments':

God’s Power and Wisdom in Christ Jesus
18 The teaching about the cross seems foolish to those who are lost. But to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 As the Scriptures say,

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise.
I will confuse the understanding of the intelligent.”

20 So what does this say about the philosopher, the law expert, or anyone in this world who is skilled in making clever arguments? God has made the wisdom of the world look foolish. 21 This is what God in his wisdom decided: Since the world did not find him through its own wisdom, he used the message that sounds foolish to save those who believe it.

Ok, let me put it this way ppl. Any claim submitted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. can anyone provide evidence that extends beyond "the bible said it" to make me change my mind, all it would take me to believe in god is verifiable evidence. if god created the universe, and is in fact all powerful and all knowing, why would he put his words in a language that can be subject to change and different interpretations, to the extent that even Christians cant agree?

I would research David Wood. He was an atheist in the past (Now Christian) and has proof for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

What makes these persons (i.e. specimens of humanity) so special ?

what I believe in is the truth, I refuse to believe something I cant verify is true. faith to me, seems like the believing in something despite evidence the contrary.

Stare at the Sun.

If He was writing to the whole world, (i.e. all of the humans that ever existed), ... wouldn't that be an inherent characteristic of the message ?

Only one of the names above is remotely theologically literate (Einstein), and he was technically a pantheist who was actually more sympathetic to the religious than to the anti-religious. And if you're going to cite Einstein, you should mention Gödel, brilliant mathematician and convinced theist, as well.

Anyway, welcome. I don't think you're the devil, but if you're going to be pulling the "atheists are more intelligent" card, please learn to spell properly.

the fields of science from which they are experts

So ... this is what Science says (a worthwhile human endeavor).

But ... you do realize that there are other areas of human endeavor just as worthy of consideration, for instance ... philosophy, artistry, philanthropy, education, religion, etc.
