name one thing science can't explain. Not something where there's no firm answer. Not something where there are multiple competing theories. An observed phenomenon that science just has no way to explain.

Huh? There's plenty of things we can't yet fully explain. It's just that religion can't explain anything AT ALL, so science wins that particular fight. :P

Evolution is no longer a theory. It is a scientific fact. More than enough evidence has been presented for it. As for the thread..

As has been pointed out several times in this thread, evolution refers both to an observable fact and a scientific theory. Theories do not become facts, ever. That's not how it works.

So you can use spell-check? Too lazy to learn to spell on your own, are you? Anyway, this is irrelevant. Were you going to show us evidence of the "fact" of "God" and maybe answer my question about which god? Or are you just going to post unsupported statements?

Not really. The Sumerian, Babylonian and Greek pantheons don't have a "main" god. There may be a bit of a hierarchy but the leader of the gods doesn't get all pissy when people worship one of the others. And so what if Judaism, Christianity and Islam worship the same god? That only shows they're related, not that they're right.

Again, where's the evidence that this "God" even exists?

Christianity is based on Judaism. Islam is based on Judaism and Christianity. So not that surprising ;)

If you wish to argue that e.g. Brahma is Yahweh, that Odin is Jehova and that Osiris is Jesus, as is Mithras, as is Hercules etc. - go ahead. It is far more interesting.

While all three are Monotheistic religions, they do not believe in the same God, even many of the similar Christian sects do not believe in the same God... The God presented by Pelagians is not the same one as by Arminians, nor are either similar to that presented by Calvinists... As well, there are differences between the God of the Sunni Moslem and that of the Roman Catholic.... There are extremely different and fundamental incompatibilities between each of these groups beliefs regarding God.
Such heroic nonsense!

Actually, its still a theory. Its a theory in the same way the Einstein's Theories are Theories. A Scientific theory is a hypothesis observed repeatably to be true, and backed up with scientific fact. Creationism thus fails to be a proper theory as there is little to no evidence to back any of it up.
