The usual reason for not believing in the existence of a God is the absence of convincing evidence.
The evidence is all around you. You are the evidence of God, the world you live in is evidence of God. The sky above, even the sea below, the whole creation is evidence of God. He gives you a heartbeat, fills your lungs with oxygen, provides the food you eat, cares for you all your life, and yet people still reject God, despite this, He shows them increadible love.

But one day, the day of judgement will come, and because God is just, every sin will be punished.

The standard God of the Gaps PRATT followed by the usual threats of eternal punishment? That's it?

But this thread isn't arguing about the existence of God. That is not the point!

No, but the God who lovea you and shows you love constantly despite your sinning. He does not judge you today, but calls you to repentance. The God who so loves the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perrish, but have an everlasting life. But if you reject Jesus, if you reject His sacrifice on the cross and Jesus as your Saviour, then your sin remains.
The just pubishment for sin is death. You need a Saviour who will save you.

People who keep rejecting God as surprised when He finally rejects them.

Let's talk about evolution then.
When people argue for evolution, they usually mean there is not creator.

There are some who believe in evolution, as long as God is the driving force behind it. The problem with that, humanity is only 6000 years old. So is our planet. And when we look at the humanity, 5-6 thousand years ago, they lived 900 years, now they averagily live to 70 years. It's like going backwards, not forward.

Except that when we look at God's actual creation; the world and universe, we see that none of that is true at all. Such commentary as yours relies solely on a literal reading of the Bible, paying no attention to God's creation around us.

And that's STILL not even addressing the OP topic!

The problem is that outside a particular reading of the Bible there's only evidence directly against this belief.
