Creation again

In continuation of yesterday, as I continued to read comments made, there were many valid points. 

Then, I happened to read a comment made by the same poster with whom I was debating earlier.  Again, this was a healthy debate with no anger expressed, just "fact" and "logic." 

I stated a claim that anyone who believes in atheism must indeed have faith.  Faith is defined as accepting something as truth without proof of it being true. 

Indeed believing in God and everything about Him requires faith.  The poster then came back with a claim of his own that atheism did not require any faith at all and that they accept things that are proven as facts. 

The problem with his argument: there is no hard evidence that God does not exist.  Therefore, in order to believe in atheism, or the absence of God, one has to have a tremendous faith.  An atheist's argument that they have no faith or have to have no faith to believe in atheism is as false as claiming that cancer has never caused anyone to die.  It is bogus.

With regards to Creation/evolution, the same poster also said that mankind evolved from one of four humanities, all of which are now extinct.  The problem?  He could not tell any of us which humanity we came from or what the humanitities were.  The other problem with his argument?  Well, it was also stated in the course of the conversation that 98% of our DNA is the same as a chimp's.  Well, 94% of our DNA, from my reading, is the same as a banana.  Maybe the chimp ate the banana and then turned into a human.  It's also worhty to note that our chromosomes, from what I understand, and our heart structure, is more related to a pig than any other animal.

While I recognize that some people would indeed seem to be "piggish," I believe the DNA argument is bogus too.  Based on the 98% argument, some have called Darwin a "god."  Therefore, using the same thought process as the scientists who saw that our DNA in a different letter and sequence order resembles a chimp and still maintaining the same letters, could we then say that Darwin was a dog and it be a logical argument?  According to science, we can. 

Until next time, ponder the thoughts and check back often.  God Bless.
