how does "personal experiences/felt God's presense" fit in?

Is it your main reason for believing?
Should it be accepted as evidence during discussions?

For the majority they are educated and have there own idea's thats great, but I have noticed some that actually hate religion full stop. Not just think its silly, but hate it.

1)a)I’m na evolutionist.
b)The reason i’m asking is because i’m interested in your opinions, i want to know whatyou think. I have nothing against you, i just want to ask politely and discuss

2)In my question yesterday I asked atheists specificly, amongst other things, what would be like if there were poof that evolution was false. Results were:

a)Some people, by not reading the details of my question mistook me by an creationist and proceded to insult me (i’m starting to think some atheists are not the rocket scientist they claim to be. Still, relax, if you’re reading this this is probably not directed to you).
b)Some people simply refused to awnser the question and simply gave arguments like: “Its better to believe in evolution than to believe in fairy tales or the flying spaguetti monster”. Again, no rocket science, still looking back i have to say that i was pretty condescending in my questionand i guess that when you write what you want you end up reading what you don’t want. Heh.
c)Finaly some people awnsered my question throughfully, in a very complete way and more accurately than i usualy am able to awnser questions here on R&S. Still even those people did not, in fact awnsered what would be like if the theory of evolution would be false, they claimed it was hard for them grasping that hipothetical question. Well that got me thinking...

For me its not hard to imagine. If someone came to me and said: “Imagine you just won the lottery 37 times in a row, when you leave home to colect the 37th prize you’re suddenly atacked by a pink dinossaur, he bites of your leg. Just when you think youre about to die, Angelina Jolie shows up in a black mustang, she saves you by killing the dinossaur with a light saber” Is that impossible? Yes. Is it hard for me to imagine that hypothetical situation? Not at all.

Still, it is a completly different situation when people come to me and say: “imagine Jesus never existed” Well, christianity is a big part of my life, its my faith and it changed my life deeply. I have a hard time thinking its all a lie, i don’t feel confortable doing so, its hard...

I usualy hate when people say that it takes faith to believe in evolution, it offends my faith, my work along with my intelligence. So i understand some offensive responses from atheists when faced with the same kind of questioning (i really dislike when people say that atheists have faith in stuff, i think i’ve done a couple of times here but with a lot of reserves, and still the acceptance wasn’t any good, and i understand why).
But i have to say. You sure do treat the evolution subject like fundamentalists, pretty much like its some kind of dogma or immutable law, like me and my Jesus, you have a hard time imagining the world without evolution. Why?
Imagine youre a Jedi
imagine youre an autobot
imagine there is no gravity, that what keeps us on the ground are some invisible strings made of magic energy thats liberated only when we pee
Imagine there is no evolution

Here, let me try:
“Well, my work revolves around an evolutionary approach to insect digestion, so i can kiss my fundings goodbye.So i’m out of a job. My grilfriend is a creationist, so she wont leave me alone for a while, oh and i can forget about showing up at church for the next month i know what the minister will be talking about. In some time, i’m sure the scientists will find out what went on (thats what science is all about, right?), in the meantime i think i’ll go to the R&S section on Y!A, it must be a slaughter house there right now lol.”

Thats my question: Why are you so fundamentalist when it comes to evolution?
Its not hard, and probably not any good, still its been stuck on my head for sometime now

"Golly, that felt good."

"Gee whillikers, that was amazing."

"Oh my goodness...oh my goodness...I think I'm going to have a climactic orgasm experience, but it's only for procreation purposes, and I promise, Lord, not to enjoy it at all and to feel guilty immediately afterwards if I do!!!"

Christians often seem preoccupied with the sex lives of others, and this question is often asked. I thought turnabout would be fair play.

That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not: Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.

—Qur'an, 4:157-158

cuz I see a lot of cloning going on here just so a coward can voice his opinion anonymously. Why not tell us who you are instead of cloning women?

I would like to know if you enter a (sexual) relationship with someone outside of your marriage........ Do you do it having intentions of marriage?... is it just sex on the side?....

I am questioning in particular about one who is deep rooted and into his deen. Struggles with his convictions..... yet keeps coming back-- says "when I smell you I feel it in my heart" "there is something in my heart other than allah and I need to work on that"

Is he telling me he loves me?

He thinks those that enter into second marriages are egotistical and arrogant.....

any thoughts..... all are welcome......

You want me to believe in an imaginary god whose holy book claims he drowned all the babies in a world-wide flood.

You want me to believe in imaginary sins, so that every day I can feel guilty for being human and apologetic to your imaginary god.

And you want me to spend the rest of my life this way.

And if I don't you tell me your imaginary god will throw me into an imaginary lake of fire and brimstone.

And the only evidence you can offer is a badly written book that can't keep its own 'facts' straight about how the God of the Universe made a tiny tribe on Earth the Chosen People of God.

This all seems "real" to you, does it?

I remember the day my mother told my yougest sister that all the fairytales she believed in were made up. My sister took it well, she was a very intelligent young lady and always thinking ahead. She asked why anyone would want to trick kids into believeing such a thing. My mother replied that it's nice to believe in fairytales when you're young. My sister said that she'd rather have been told the truth, and that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and God didn't make her world any better, and she hated going to mass every week. My mother said "No, God is real". My sister looked at her quizzically and siad "I'm not stupid mammy."

ok, i overheard this argument of an atheist and a christian, who argued that if God really exist, he musn't really omniscient since if He does, then we dont exist....
why? cuz God is holy.... and He hates sin... right?
so why does he even bother to create Adam if afterward he would fall to sin and thing is God knows it in the first place!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
his action put us all in the misery...- says the atheist...
then the christian just sat down with nothing to say....

if you guys are all christians what would you say in defence?
