I am really thankful that you are not in a position of authority. Where did god (if it exists) come from? The usual answer of theists is that god was always here. But, if god could have always been here, why can't the universe have always been here. Or the other side of the coin, if everything requires a beginning, what was responsible for the beginning of god?
Evolutionist claims that everything that came in to existence as it is today, came from nothing. Now what does that mean? Its not a tricky question, its a stupid statement.
I dont know where God came from, I just believe the word of God and that He truly is the Creator and if I die someday and God does not exist, then so be it. At least I had something to live for, to die for. Its my choice.

Nicksten, why would we have billions of billions of fossils? We're lucky to even have them and preserved. It's not exactly an easy process, considering life is biodegradable.
And why would we have higher technology? You have start somewhere and we're progressing towards greater technology. I mean, relatively speaking (evolution wise) we just hopped out of th ...[text shortened]... rees for goodness sake. I don't see why there's a specific timeline for rate of technology.
By looking at how the technology industry boosted over the last 20 years, why only now? Why not thousands of years ago did technology boost and gone over the roof? It just doesnt make sense to me. I agree that a lot of stuff is still evolving, but humans live on technology, we depend on technology, why wasnt most of it there years and years ago?

The rest of your post is based on assumptions with less evidence than evolution! I prefer to base my life on facts, and when something is unknown, I will weigh it accordingly.🙂

In biology, evolution is change in the genetic material of a population of organisms through successive generations.
I'm not sure what you think the theory of evolution is, but it's clear you don't really know what you're talking about.

Your own bias is preventing you from seeing the obvious.
God's power is directly seen in all that exists. How can one look into the night sky and not say to himself, "how did all this come into existence"?
The answer doesn't come from man.

Further details at this point are not necessary.
Like the old song "Somebody bigger than you and I."
A Creator God with eternal power and divine characteristics. That's all Paul is saying at this point.
Modern man tries to hide behind cultural pluralism as an excuse to not recognize a supreme creating God.
