I don't know you but am getting the impression that you are a smart person who can engage in meaningful exchanges but who goes flaky once in a while like Robbie. Welcome back, I guess.

No, you won't. You never did before.

Christianity 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".

Oh, you know him, you just don't remember him, which is what he was counting on.

Stirring the pot is one thing. Leading men astray is another, more serious, thing.

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.
False dichotomy. There is a position in the middle of 'I proved it all by myself' and 'I take it on faith'. For me to take evolution on faith, I would be admitting that I do not consider the evidence for it sufficient to establish its truth, yet believe it anyway.

In science, it's a good thing when your findings can possibly be proven wrong. Theories that are not falsifiable are generally not useful.

Didn't you hear that evolution has been proven wrong?
