Well, you may not want to list things, but provide links (or reasonable quotes) to reputable scientists that would make the cases you're making.joeboonda said:No there is not lack of credible evidence, its quite abundant, do I really have to list stuff? Not trying to be cold, but the info is out there.
Most atheists (and many evolution accepting christians) have read creationist claims, as well as proper scientific information. I suggest you research evolution before you claim that it can be easily explained away. You say you were exposed to it through mass media, but (judging by your location) you may not have been taught it properly in the classroom setting. I, too, am from the south, and even public school teachers can let their bais slip out in the classroom. Seriously: research all sides, not just your side. As I posted in another thread: Tree rings can be consistently dated back 10,000 years which predates most Young Earth Creationists' universe by over 2 thousand.
Back on topic: To elaborate on my first post, I would have to say that the only way I would believe the God of the OT, NT, or Koran is if he personally talked to me, and explained his actions, recorded therein. I don't really mean a personal revelation, though that may work, but really would prefer a physical, tangible, concrete conversation. If he could give me good enough reasons for acting the way he does, I would believe he exists. I probably still wouldn't worship him, though. Even if he did create everything, that doesn't give him the right to harm his creations.
To draw an analogue, does anyone here watch the new episodes of Stargate SG1? They encountered a race of ascended beings that act much like the Abrahamic Gods, they are powerful, enlightened, and demand worship.
In a way, I think the demand of worship alone sort of detracts from your deserving of it.
