Higher standards
I bit the bullet once:
Question 6:
Evolutionary theory maybe false in some matters of detail, but it is essentially true.
I answered true
Question 13:
It is foolish to believe in God without certain, irrevocable proof that God exists.
I answered true
You stated earlier that evolutionary theory is essentially true. However, you have now claimed that it is foolish to believe in God without certain, irrevocable proof that she exists. The problem is that there is no certain proof that evolutionary theory is true - even though there is overwhelming evidence that it is true. So it seems that you require certain, irrevocable proof for God's existence, but accept evolutionary theory without certain proof. So you've got a choice:
Bite a bullet and claim that a higher standard of proof is required for belief in God than for belief in evolution.
The Theory of Evolution is a natural process that requires no magic, no supernatural powers, or 'faith'. There may be no certain proof, as they say, but there is no certain proof in any theory. The existence of God is not a mere theory, its a magical claim of a being with supernatural powers. Such claims require more than just 'evidence', I want certain, irrevocable proof that she exists.
