"We dont like evolution becasue it isnt truth
Its just a theory and it cant be prove and thats not ignorance its fact "-Christian. That quote came from a Christian response for my last question.
"it cant be prove"-besides the bad grammar, it sounds like a description of God. Should this Christian reapply her "logic" to her faith?

You and "Christian," paradoxically enough, may be making the same essential error. The difference is that if there are empirical truths, evolution is among them.
Yes, we have reached the point that if we do accept truths from experience -- ie to say science -- we can disprove the proposition that the earch is a flat disk supported by giant elephants, or proposition that the judeo-christian holy books are questions of fact.
But the existence of god is a different matter from the truth of a particular description of god.
Here is where I think you are both fundamentally wrong: The inability to prove a statement is not in itself a disproof. Now, common sense is to some extent useful here -- I do not believe, for example, that some planet two galaxies over is inhabited by intelligent purple unicorns. But I can't disprove it.

"Proof" is relevent to what makes something true to you. If you're given enough evidence that 2 + 2 = 4 (aka enough people have told you or it makes sense to you, or a combination of all those evidences), then you believe all the evidence as proof. You might see evolution as being proved by bones, fossils, carbon dating, whatever. As a person who's looked deep into these discoveries, I've found very little credible evidence for evolution, but have found a lot of evidence for God. That's just some things I've found.

This is not a simple answer because it is like comparing apples and oranges. Christians will try to disprove evolution because they are disproving what is tangible and usable in everyday life. While Christians will agree that God is usable, he is not tangible in the literal sense like science is. Many Christians will say "prove that there isn't a God" which is difficult to do because while we can't see God, it is easy to believe that while I can't see him, I can see the effects of him. I can't see the wind, but I know it exists because I have seen its effects, whether good or bad. I hope this argument makes sense. Good luck in your search

just look around you! God's finger print is everywhere! are you gonna tell me that this world was made from random chance?! its extremly more likely that a god created it for his own glory! your "logic" that your supposedly using is not logical. its obvious that a God created it, and everyone knows that, they just won't addmit it, becuase they don't want to be held accountable for there actions.

No that logic does not disprove God. Perhaps God has proven himself to that person. He has proven his existence to me.
