What about you? I am not the source. Ask others who profess a belief in God.
What about me?
I have no belief in a deity either way.
Why?
I have not seen anything to convince that one exists.
I am also not so arrogant to claim that because I have not been convinced of its existence, that it cannot exist.

There, Now that I flat out answered, it is nothing but rude for you to refuse to answer the same question.
Especially given the fact that I asked you first.

They don't care. When confronted, some persons get offended, will not explain their beliefs, tell you that you have no right to explore their beliefs ... etc. oh, and call others uneducated and therefore will not explain, but -- they know! :) (Have a good one, SBTL)
What would the beliefs of others serve to tell you about the validity of dating techniques or the acceptance of science based on logic, reason and evidence?

What is the spiritual purpose of snide, passive aggressive commentary about others?

What is your education in science and expertise in science that allows you to dismiss science you pick and choose? What facts provide you with the ability to pick and choose in the first place?

I am flat out asking you.

See, i strongly suspect that an honest answer from you would be most embarrassing for you.
Thus the reason you flat out refuse to answer.
Virtually every remark a theist says in favor of the Bible is approached by non believers and ridiculers in a derogatory way. So again...thanks for discussion and...hope things go well with you. You and a few others here have taught me a lot. Thanks again.

You are the one that keeps bringing it up. It is you that is centering yourself as the authority. It is from you then that answer should arise.

Virtually ever remark made by anyone in favor of certain branches of knowledge supported by science receives ridicule in some derogatory way by certain groups of believers. You and those that believe as you do have taught me a lot. Thanks again.

There we go. I haven't dismissed science. Asking for clarification seems impossible here though. Don't say there's no snide rabbit hole lava floor responses from some. Whether rabbits regurgitate their food or not.

Nope. You're wrong.
No. I am right. All the evidence you provide seems intended to provide yourself the authority and the excuse to dismiss knowledge without review, make claims without support and to beat others and feel free and justified to so.

I do not share an interest to causing others harm. Funny how you went right to that though. Is it on your mind to stone someone?

I'm not the one to ask why I believe. Faith is a gift one of the gifts from God.
Why not. You bring it up in ever discussion regardless of the subject of the discussion. Since it is your interest, I think that suits you best as the person to discuss it.

Reason and experience, basically
I wanted to learn why some believe in the process of evolution. That's why I came here. And right now there's where the discussion stops now on my part. Yes, have a good evening. It's evening here in my part of the world.
