Creationists and evolutionists, Christians and non-Christians all have the same evidence—the same facts. Think about it: we all have the same earth, the same fossil layers, the same animals and plants, the same stars—the facts are all the same.
The difference is in the way we all interpret the facts. And why do we interpret facts differently? Because we start with different presuppositions. These are things that are assumed to be true, without being able to prove them. These then become the basis for other conclusions. All reasoning is based on presuppositions (also called axioms). This becomes especially relevant when dealing with past events.
What your problem is - and others duped into thinking we came from apes, yet still cannot explain who or what Created the Universe - is that when present a different interpetation of the facts, you immediately go on the attack and don't even look at an opposing view..
And for the record, i dont believe we came from apes. We are homo-sapiens. We are a race that came forth about 10,000 years ago. We are different from cromagden and neanderthal. Just like many races of birds exist and then die out but are not directly related to one another, we to came from somewhere. If you were smart, you'd try to explain that as god and not try to shove this ridiculous notion that the universe is only 6000 years old.
I believe there is a god. But he's not this all loving being everyone makes him out to be. He is more of a scientist running an experiment in my eyes. Kind of like the Q from star trek. My opinion on the matter is that god flicked a switch (big bang) trillions of years ago and wanted to see what would happen. So he's still gathering data.
The true mark of ignorance is discrediting someone elses views and opinions and calling that discrediting the proof that their view is right.
