that's a 10 pointer you argue about god but believe in trolls very interesting.
The post that was quoted here has been removedChristianity is not just "guessing right". It's following the bread crumbs to their conclusion. And when you do, you'll find your "personal experience". If you don't, then you won't. Faith will get you there. Trust in something outside yourself. Logic fails because it won't take you all the way "there".
Just like Pascal's Wager fails because belief cannot be "pretended".

SwissGambit,
You need to go "prove it" to yourself using all the sciences and all the capabilities modern science has today. If you don't, then you are accepting evolution by faith. You are not accepting it by science. Lastly, the evolution is only a theory. Even Darwin admitted that his findings could be proven wrong.
In science, it's a good thing when your findings can possibly be proven wrong. Theories that are not falsifiable are generally not useful.
