The Evolutionistic Faith

It has already been noted that "as an evolutionist" indicates a misunderstanding. What you want is "as an atheist" which is a separate issue from understanding evolution.Ok, that said, "have made the choice to exercise your faith" is an odd expression to me. One form of god or another just doesn't seem to be a very useful or meaningful concept. It isn't a particular "choice" made at some point. It is a non-choice. I just don't see any good reason to consider any of all the different gods (both mentioned here and elsewhere -- and if you read over the Christian postings here you do see different gods ) as all that interesting other than as a socialogical phenomenon.I think I have a small flicker of understanding of why you might have to ask this question. This is something which is, perhaps, of overwhelming importance to you. It is hard for you to understand that it is of so little importance to my that it isn't something I have to think about a lot or "make a choice" about. I work up some interest in it to engage in conversation about like I do when the local NHL or football team is the subject. To be polite.

Common sense isn't

An illustration "proves" nothing. But let me play with your analogy a bit.You sit me down in front of an apple and an orange. I'm not hungry. I have never been hungry (I'm an android). I don't "get" the idea of eating. I don't have a choice to make. It isn't important. It doesn't matter.In one form of you analogy the apple and an orange are both gods of different sorts. I look, when you insist, and can't see any difference between them. There is nothing to make a choice on. Maybe, if you insist, I flip a coin (as you did by being born where you did). I don't consider flipping a coin to be making much of a choice.In the other form of you analogy (the one I think you meant), the apple is God and the orange is evolution. I don't see any apple. I can't touch any apple. There still isn't any choice.
