Yet there are scientists out there that believe there is evidence for a creator. Their findings are out there. You're just unwilling to accept it.

Would you agree that we don't know everything there is to know?

What would you consider "evidence for a creator" as, um, evidence for a creator?[/b]

We know that there could be no intelligent design of anything in nature because ... well, if there was intelligent design that would violate our principle of the separation of church and state.
So there could not have been any intelligent design.

Also based upon assumptions that can’t be proved.

Is it better to side with educated scientists who spent years receiving formal education and training in their respective fields, or is it better to side with ancient men who believed in talking snakes and stoned women to death for not being virgins?
Any animal or thing that is possessed by a demon can speak. Don’t believe in demons? Google “Lindley Street Bridgeport CT.”

Originally posted by @vivifyI’m not aware of women being stoned to death in the Bible, but I don’t know the Old Testament that well and didn’t feel qualified to comment on it. Nor is that something I often hear atheists bring up.

It would seem it did occur since Jesus saved a woman who committed adultery from being stoned, but that doesn’t speak to how often it took place.
Basically, I didn’t (and don’t) know enough about it to offer a comment.
Originally posted by @dj2beckerThe NASA link is not evidence for, or against, a creator. It's about the the physical history, configuration, and expansion of the universe.

The Big Bang theory is compatible with a creator. But the creator is arguably not necessary.
