I wasn't really trying to argue for the existence of God; just explain how my beliefs are rooted in more than just blind faith. And again, my point is that the following statements can all be true:
  • God exists
  • God is perfect
  • God created humans
  • Humans are imperfect
There is nothing mutually exclusive about these statements. Humans being flawed and imperfect has nothing to do with whether God is all-powerful and perfect. I'm not trying to debate whether He is, just that using man's imperfections as evidence doesn't make sense.

Naw, the kind of person that would get offended by that would never take a class on Human Evolution.
Yeah, I suppose you've got a pretty good point there!
