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? I believe in evolution, yes. It stands to reason that no matter how unlikely, after enough tries it will happen. Now give yourself millions of planets with the capabilities for life in millions of systems, and give them enough time. Now, after all that is done, it won't take particularly long for signs of complicated life to show.

And, of course, I don't mind. I suppose it could be possible-- I guess it just seems as improbable to me as a God who created life does to you.

Alright. So, let's just assume for a moment that evolution is true. In that case, neither one of us has anything to lose. What we believe won't matter in the end, because there will be no one to enforce it. In the end, we all die and go back to dust and then we're just gone. Right?
