1. Huh? We know what happened with evolution. Evolution is a scientific fact, not a hypothesis, not a myth. Referring to human evolution, we know humans have a common ancestor with chimps based on extensive fossil/skeletal and DNA evidence. http://en.wikipeda.org/wiki/Human_evolution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_years_evolution_fossils There's no(good) reason at all to belive that god made humans outright that evidence point's to evolution. 2. It would be possible, but how would you go about proving its actually scratch that, I think we'd know for sure if during some period in history, a broad number of languages just spontaneously formed. However, through linguistics we know, for example, that Romance languages like Spanish and French descended from an older form of Latin, and both developed distinctly through the isolation of populations. There's no reason to believe there was anything supernatural influencing this. It would just be superfluous and dismissed through Occam's Razor. 3. In that case, people should stop praying to god since many requests could likely only be fulfilled by interfering with people's free will (like praying for a new car, house, husband, not getting killed by extremists...how do you expect to get that stuff without influencing other people?). However, the current mindset seems to be that the Christian god at least can help you through all walks of life and has a plan for you and stuff like that, but it doesn't seem he's helping people who really need it. Besides, if god has a plan for you, how can you have free will? In this scenario, you're a puppet and god is the puppet master. At the very least sometimes. Also, going by your reasoning, since there is apparently no evil and sin in heaven, then I suppose heaven has no free will? 4. Sure you can. Assuming all these things are fictional, and can't actually influence anything because they don't exist, it doesn't matter whether you substitute gods for unicorns. The only thing that would be necessary is a change of mindset; actually believing that a unicorn can help you in the same way a god can. I'm an atheist though, so IMO, in reality, you're not actually getting helped by anything. You just think you are. The same goes for people who claim that whichever god(s) they believe in cured their disease. |
1. While Microevolution is certainly possible, macroevolution isn't. Genetics has proven we can't stray that far from our genetic code. And we actually have closer DNA to chickens then chimps, but according to evolution our common ancestors lived a long time ago. Why then would we have closer DNA to a bird rather than a fellow primeape? Don't say that mutation is the reason for macroevolution. I for one have slightly pointed ears. (Yes, kinda like an Elf or Vulcan. Don't call me that though) For example, what if I wanted to make the Elves of the future? What are the chances of me making a baby with someone that has similar ears and for my child to have the pointy ear gene and for her/him to have a child with similar ears? Certainly smaller than the chance for the Wii U and Xbox One to outsell the PS4 for the rest of their days. (I had to put that somewhere. 
) And after more than 150 years how many transitional forms have we found? I dare you to find how many.
I'll answer the rest later.
