Nope. Fact.
- Yes. Opinion.
  
  No fact. It is factual that your skydaddy doesn't exist. That being is logically impossible, physically impossible, and we have mountains of evidence against it.
  Face the universe, accept your mortality, time to grow up.
  
  I face a universe where God is the puppeteer and we are his toys lol
  
  What happened to that free will you skydaddy types love so much?
  
  Who said I am christian? Lol
  
  Oh we are doing this game I see. When did being fucking coy become the highest form of wit?
  
  Uhm, there's no game, you are the one replying someone who doesn't really care
  
  I'm still waiting for the day one of you proves us all wrong and gets a hold of God, maybe gets him on Hannity
  
  Must say the same about evolution lol
  
  So most people don't believe in the leading scientific theory? Despite it being extensively tested and supported by numerous studies? If you're open to learning more, I recommend exploring the following resources:

  On the other hand, there's an entirely different perspective regarding the existence of God. You can delve into this topic by visiting Britannica - Existence of God. When you examine these sources, you'll find that the evidence supporting evolution is rooted in reproducible scientific studies, while arguments for the existence of God often rely on philosophical reasoning, such as the ontological argument. While I can't disprove this argument, it ultimately hinges on faith rather than concrete empirical evidence.

  Anyway, I don't expect to convince you or anyone else, just wanted to waste some time and further my own understanding of the subject, ignore this if you want.
  
  I meant must, not most, sorry, also, I can see you are not a nut job like many other users here, just a bit bored lol Evolution is a legit theory and possibility, I am unable to deny that obviously, but it's more of a "It can technically happen, but will it happen?" thing for me, appreciate the effort you put on your comment tho
  
  Oh is there a widely accepted scientific Theory of God I missed?
  
  Sadly not lol
