An exhortation from Greg on Genesis, miracles, and natural evil

Yes, by the evidence. In this case the evidence is a lack of the evidence one should expect if God existed.

I am really sorry John to interject. I care for you and for folks like yourself and so i feel compelled to put out an explanation to your reasoning.

If you were to ask 100 children if they thought that the earth, life forms, families etc just popped into existence out of thin air, 99 of them would typically laugh at the silliness of such a proposition.

So would I - because it’s a silly proposition that has nothing whatsoever to do with what actually happened.

Apparently you can’t even convince children without invoking ridiculous strawman arguments to oppose.

They would typically point to Creator God.

Only if and because their parents and teachers had taught them to. It means nothing.
