I know. But they are evolutionist.
Here's what you wrote about people who accept evolution: "They do not even have God as a resource. They can't face this question." You weren't expressing a wish that we would see the incompatibility; you were saying that we don't have God. Period. Either you're confused about the relationship between atheism and evolution, or you know that many Christians do accept evolution and you're telling falsehoods about us anyway.No no. I wish they could see that evolution and Christianity are not compatible.
How did we get here? THe question has been asked by many but answered by few. Creationists will tell you that we are offspring of Adam and Eve. Evolutionists will say that we evolved upward from some distant apelike hominid somewhere in the past. I want to go back further. For Creationists, the answer is easy- God made Adam and Eve. That case is closed.
But for evolutionists the answer is not so easily put forth. Evolutionists always seem to respond with something along the lines of "ToE doesn't deal with origins..." But I want to know what evolutionists actually think about the matter. Where did that supposed common ancestor come from? If all life shares this supposed CA (common ancestor), where did it come from?
I know that evolutionists first response will be "ToE doesn't deal with that..." I want to say rubbish. You must have some theory, idea, guess, or hypothosis of everything came from and how every life form got started and I would like you to share that.
(This thread is not for a regular old rehash of Creation v Evolution. I simply want to know where evolutionists believe it all started at.)

This is most definitely true! But in all earnest; Americans have their good side (NASA, SMITHSONIAN, etc) and they have their bad side (CREATION MUSEUM, MEGA CHURCHES, etc.), however they are too religiously inclined in the wrong direction; "Guns, God, and Glory" is an example. Another example is "Jesus spoke English" or even "Thou shalt not kill without just cause".The thing that always amuses me is that the population of Evolutionist Christians is probably vastly bigger then Evolutionist Atheists in the US.
Come think of it, Evolution Accepting Christians is probably a bigger group then Atheist, Agnostic and non religious combined.
I don´t think I am under any obligation to speculate. What makes you think I "must"?You must have some theory, idea, guess, or hypothosis of everything came from and how every life form got started

But not Atheist -- which blows your little fantasy out of the water right there.
Actually it is you who is the exception; The vast majority of Christians have no problems with ToE.OK, I was inconsistent there. Basically, when I argued about evolution, I assume I am talking to atheists (90% chance of it is true). TE is odd. It is a category which does not stay long in my mind. You are a Christian and you also believe in evolution. That is fine, even I think it is wrong. You would be an exception in my argument against evolution.
You ARE an atheist. You do not accept any god. That fits the definition.

90% is a totally bogus percentage. Try more like 38% of Americans are Theistic Evolutionists. It is actually very close to the percentage who are creationists: Four in 10 Americans Believe in Strict Creationism
Wow... reality is simply not Juven's friend today, is it?

I don't believe the poll. I need to see the survey.
You can make people to say anything in a well designed survey.
Oh, for crying out loud. Every poll for decades has shown similar numbers for the U.S., and most other countries show much lower percentages of creationists.I don't believe the poll. I need to see the survey.

Do you believe in evolution? By default don't you need to have some inkling of an idea as to how life came about? Do you not demand creationists have everything in their theory nailed down precisely? It seems a bit unfair then for you to say that you don't need an answer.
