Exactly. Atheism and evolution are belief systems, essentially, and stem from more from psychology than science.

One thing I saw in Australia put evolution in doubt for me: The redback spider.

It’s nearly identical to the Black Widow spider, except instead of a red hourglass on the belly, there’s an almost perfect red square.

My bias is that I was raised a Christian, and I have zero scientific basis for declaring evolution as a theory is not valid, but I asked myself what the chances of this evolving by accident.

Why an hourglass, and why on another continent, a square?

I believe the world was created by God, which is to say I take it on faith, but have selected empirical evidence which tends to reinforce that belief. I would suspect the same is true for evolutionists.

The thing is, that as time goes by, science seems to support the idea of the existence of God, and tends to erode the theory that it was an accident. It’s just my observation.

It’s not “just” your observation but mine and indeed most peoples as well.

So why should we be held hostage by a few people with multiple God hang-ups? Who gave liberals the keys to science anyway?
