TM, I'll be the first to admit that I don't know where we came from, or where atoms came from. Let's say some guy came and told me that two martians had sex 5 billion years ago and we are the result of their explosive orgasm, and the only proof he had was this book purpotedly inspired by the martians. Of course I'd rightly think that's a load of crap, and I'ld poke all the holes I could find in his theory. BTW I'll do this even if I still have no idea where we or atoms came from. However, according to you, I shouldn't poke holes in his absurd theory just because my knowledge hasn't reached a point where I know for sure where we came from. Basically, one shouldn't question anything unless he has a counter-explanation. Do you see how absurd that line of thinking is?

To me, the idea that there's a god who had existed forever in heaven, then one day he decided to create man, so that man can worship him in earth and forever in heaven, is just as absurd as the martian sex theory.

You're forgiven, the world needs slow people to balance things out, and to blindly follow illogical dogmas.
