I see. So there could be a God or there could not be a God, and we'd never know? And what makes you think it's silly? I mean, we humans are rational beings with the ability to think and create. We may not be able to create life, or to create something from nothing, but I look at the things we as people can do and I don't see it as a stretch to think that there could be someone out there who is able to think and create just as we can, but who is powerful enough to create life and to make something out of nothing. Look, I really don't want to start this argument here. And, if it does, I'd also rather it stayed at the point of just being the two of us, so as not to spiral out of control...

Anyway, I'll answer your question. There's no way of proving, or disproving the existence of God. Sure, you can put forth arguments. But that of both sides is neither at all convincing or really substantiated. It just seems pure idealism to say that there's someone out there who loves us, especially when people try and claim the Bible as a history book... proper fundamentalists (as in, strict Catholics) are just pure annoyance, which just adds to this idea... And sure we can create a lot, that amount increasing exponentially in itself, but to say that someone who defies the laws of physics made us just seems, well, wishful thinking. I deem it a much more reasonable, much more plausible - and with tangible evidence - theory that we came about by random chance. I don't want an argument either, but I don't think it has to become one. I think we can both discuss this without it turning into a fight.

I see-- so do you believe in evolution then? I would just find it difficult to believe that all the complex aspects of life could just... come into being from something random. Our world is ordered and structured (even if society looks like chaos sometimes), and... it just seems unlikely to me that it could all come into being by chance. To me, it's like throwing a bunch of car parts out in the yard-- there's a chance that they could all land in the exact place and order they need to be in to assemble a working vehicle, but it seems so very unlikely.

And if you don't mind, may I ask a hypothetical question?
