Is there a God?

Side note : this is the first time you've ever engaged me without having a personal insult to lob with it. Thanks for that. You should've been banned a ton of times if the admins didn't perfectly align with your viewpoints.

Why are you more likely to believe that there's an omnipotent being that created everything rather than random circumstance and favorable conditions?

Can you explain the favorable condition that led to the creation of reality?

The existence of DNA points to intelligence design imho. DNA is just a fascinating thing to study. You have this personal blueprint and through this you're entire being is built around it.

Do you think a human could ever naturally evolve into a fish or a bug given enough thousands of years? I don't believe so.

You have a very limited view of time. Anatomically modern Homo sapiens sapiens are only a very recent thing -- the last 200k years or so (and 50k years for true modern humans). There were millions of years of hominid and hominoid evolution before that.

DNA is remarkable but it's not entirely impossible to explain. RNA based lifeforms made from a collaboration of molecules and viruses and viroids have been known to form simple DNA analogues in acidic conditions. We can't possibly know every detail of our existence or how everything came to be but I don't think we should just throw our hands up and proclaim that it's impossible for it to be any way other than some omnipotent being. That would be ridiculous.

I'm not quite sure that you actually understand the theory of evolution.

One guy given thousands of years can't become a fish! Admit it!

The problem with the evolution theory is, all other mammals and beings that have "evolved" leave the old form behind and it is wiped from nature.

If we humans "evolved" from apes or monkeys or whatever their bullshit idea is, why are there still apes and monkeys?

The thing is, if you think a god created existence as an omnipotent being, then that means all parts of time were part of that creation, from 'beginning' to 'end'. As such time, and processes that are dependent on time (such as physics, chemistry, and even biology) are part of that creation too as these processes are what links each 'freeze frame' of creation.

Personally, I'd be much more impressed with a God that can create a universe so complex as to be in a constant state of change than one that merely creates a static, dead universe that does not progress in any meaningful way beyond it's initial state.
