I suppose then, that you have a difficult time accepting evolution as the way we came to be. After all, there are no eyewitness accounts for the first time muddy-mudskipper decided to get out of the goop and take a walk around the neighborhood.

If the evidence was so convincing, then the whole world would be full of Christians. And it's not. There are people who have spent their whole lives as fervent believers yet end up renouncing their faith. Did they not believe strongly enough? Were they not real Christians?

Again, the same thing can be said for the other side of the coin -- if the evidence for evolution and the non-exsistence of God were so convincing, then the whole world would be full of athiests who believe in evolution. There are people who have spent their whole lives as staunch believers of evolution yet end up finding faith in God. Did they not believe the evidence strongly enough? Were they not real athiestic evolutionists?
