Even with all of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, there will always be those who will deny the existence of God. Until that is they stand before Him to receive their judgment. For the bible states "that every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord."

Lots of people reject the ego-projected god -- where hell, punishment, judgement, reward are all thoughts in the human/ego thought system and made into how we think god should be. Jesus got this dynamic across with the 'good son' in the prodigal son parable who is annoyed when god doesn't fit the concepts he has of him. If people talked about the real god of unconditional love and how he's at the foundation of existence, people would get on board. Note that it's also a problem if we say that the complexity and magnificence of the universe implies a creator because we're left with a contradiction: if complexity and magnificence implies a creator, then what created the creator? If we say the creator just always was then we violate our own rule -- and people can say that the universe/world just came into being from simple processes that occurred over billions of years, not requiring a creator.

i think its mostly the younger generation,younger than 40,they have had the evolution idea forced down there throats and they don't even realize it ,and I'm sure if any one had of said they believe in creation they would have been ridiculed ,so they all get stuck in this of not actually thinking for themselves and i guess they'd rather believe the fantasy that they came out of a primordial oozing soup(not alphabets) and then some of the little ameba's like scrumming things turned one way and became human,and the others turned to animals but we all started out as the same little scrumy ameba's thing,
oh,and we were decendence of apes before we became human,i think we really did that werewolf type of thing but in reverse,sounds as good as anything evolutionist have come up with,and they think creationism is a fantasy

What serves you as a substitute for logic and reason is a logical fallacy (a flaw in thinking) known as the "Argument From Incredulity"... which is a sub-category of the "Argument ad Ignorantiam" (Argument From Ignorance). It goes something like this: "I can't conceive of how this might have come to be; therefore, God did it."
That does not represent a limitation of nature... it represents a limitation of knowledge or intellect. Additionally, it is intellectually dishonest... it does not ACKNOWLEDGE the limitation of knowledge or intellect... it appeals to a fanciful, imaginary, supernatural entity to create the ILLUSION that your cognitive dissonance has been resolved. It substitutes 'faith' for fact, and 'belief' for knowledge. Neither faith nor belief are sufficient to sustain reason... they are only sufficient to sustain willful ignorance.
That is the epitome of self-delusion.
