I'll take your vapid response as confirmation that you have no stronger argument to make.

Nah, you just aren't a credible source nor provide any.

Actually, look what thread we are in. The burden of proof lies upon you and all other unintelligent people who deny the existence of God by simply going to Wikipedia and searching for truth.

No it doesn't. It is not up to anyone to disprove there isn't a supreme all powerful being that wants you to do various things listed in a ancient book. That is not the default position of a thinking human.
No one is born a Christian (or Muslim, Jew ect..). That shit is generally drilled in their head as a 4-6 year old kid that is still incapable of critical thought. These beliefs are then reinforced regularly by the community and become a pillar of their social life. We are social creatures prone to tribalism, of course people are reluctant to give up their customs and rituals.
If you want to admit there is no logical reason for your beliefs and they just make you happy, whatever. However, you treaded into a debate forum and attempted to argue your beliefs are justified. You can expect to be challenged.
So far all you offered was a weak ass argument from personal incredulity:
Evolution says that people just came into existence by chance.
I cannot see how this is possible.
Evolution must be false.
Why don't you just cut the crap and admit its personal experience (feeling the holy or whatever) that lead you to be a Christian. Not some analysis of the facts.

Actually, I haven't really argued in a sense anything you are trying to put into my mouth, mostly just none of the people in this forums are Credible sources to try and judge the existence of a higher being or not and also trying to point out that theories =/ fact. I've also just given "fun" reads, yet people like asslawen apparently read right past that trying to argue for me that I'm arguing that this famous atheist now believes in God must be proof a god without even reading that I CLEARLY put in the beginning of my post that I thought that was a fun read.

I guess I shouldn't expect more though from fat potato chip gorging people trying to live in the past.

Eliseus, has it occurred to you to try judging an argument on its merits and not whether or not it comes from a "credible source" ? I suppose that would imply some sort of intellectual effort on your part.

Are you saying that Einstein was wrong?!! Obviously Einstein was smarter than any of us and therefore it should be good enough reason for anyone to believe in god. Who are you to question his opinion on the merits of his argument?! He was math genius after all.
(sarcasm)
Argumentum ad verecundiam or argument from authority. A logical fallacy. One does not have to be very knowledgeable at all in philosophy to understand this. What Einstein or Newton or Shakespeare believed is not at all persuasive in and of itself. If they present an argument, that argument will be judged by its own merits. As the quoted poster put succinctly.
