then how come I dont believe it? after all, if it is true then I should believe it right? well guess what! I dont believe it, therefore its not true
No... that's not how it works at all. What you believe has nothing whatsoever to do with what's true.

I can only speculate as to why you don't subscribe to the theory, but I imagine it has to do with a book you have read, and some rituals you undergo every Sunday.

why subscribe to a theory that no genuine truth seeker can take seriously

Oh? Why could they not do that? There is plenty of evidence for it. I will cede that it cannot be proven, but it certainly is close.

Look at the alternative. What empirical evidence is there? Would not a truth seeker be more inclined to subscribe to a theory with at least some backing to it?

I will admit that I am not completely clear on the definition of a "truth seeker".

Ah, argumentum ad seekium. For hear these words and heed their consel: 'tis the genuine truth seeker and he alone who merits our ear and favor. Listen not to the truth seeker bearing the canards of rationality, but bathe in the sweet security born of unquestioning devotion to the needs of the heart. The verity of the world does not reside in the truth that under-girds it, but in the perception and conviction of the genuine truth seeker. So be not afraid to cast off the strictures of knowledge and don the comfort offered up by he who knows best. Bang the drums slowly and sing loudly the praises of the Genuine Truth Seeker.



Or something like that.

the evidence is not self evident, the supposed evidence does not speak for itself, it relies upon expert wordsmiths who skillfully explain away or ignore the blatantly obvious difficulties

Surely you cannot be serious , creation is obvious to any created being with the faculty of sight

I will admit that I am not completely clear on the definition of a "truth seeker".

A truth seeker seeks absolute truth, they seek and love the truth above all else; whereas the worldly and sophisticated seek only to show how clever they are and what new ideas they can come up with.Evolutionary pseudoscience has corrupted mans conception of true knowledge and confined his vision to what is temporal and material

I believe that no further comment is necessary.
if evolution were true, i would evolve the ability to concieve. hahaha evolution loses.

See how easy it is to argue when your entire position is based on strawmen?
