If you had proof then I don't think anyone would be joking around and we could have a cool conversation. It's shameful that we have someone capable of saying "God isn't real" here but we are still left without anything other than carbon dating of rocks (I am not a catholic or orthodox so it isn't a conflict for me). Hopefully someone joins the forum soon that can defend atheism because it'd be more fun than this.
It's true, people love truth. It's the love of truth that God bestowed us with, and so people are inclined to search for and spread it. It makes no rational sense why someone would dedicate time to spreading their beliefs, yet we do it because we're creatures motivated by spiritual inclinations. This is what separates us from animals
Evolution does not have to equate to atheism. Many religious folk even believe in evolution. Christians just passed a law forcing the ten commandments to be placed into schools. Again, you're just being silly here.

You would always be "joking around"
They should pass a law making non-Christians second class citizens
Religious folk who believe in evolution are really in conflict with their own beliefs. They themselves would deny it but that's just how it is. So I don't see how this is a compelling argument. Conquerors often give the conquered a way to cooperate with the new normal. That's what theistic evolution is. You can be a "normal" person by believing in evolution while vaguely clinging to the old order of things aswell. It's just a cope.
Careful... Many Christians disagree on certain values. You may find yourself at the gallows with the atheists too under such a regime.
You keep disregarding semantics, very weird for a supposed high grade debater. Arrogance doesn't mean throwing insults. Arrogance means a false sense of superiority or self worth. Overestimating one's worth and ability. I think this would be an apt description for someone who says "religion can be easily disproven" and then fails to disprove it. I think this to be much more arrogant than someone mocking another for, ironically, being arrogant
epic martyrdom moment, sign me up
The natural world provides for evolution within species. A snake that lives in a forested area tends to evolve traits such as being flat to keep itself from disturbing the leaf litter, brown or green to disguise it from attacks from birds, and smaller than an anaconda to preserve energy in a colder environment.
The only reason evolution is propped up so aggressively is because it's the only alternative to creation, as a theory it makes zero sense
I prefer calling the former part simply adaptation. I suppose my opinion of how you see things depends on whether you accept the latter part or not. I believe Genesis is to be understood literally first, so a Christian who believes the earth to be billions of years old or believes one species can turn into another is extremely far from what the fathers of our church believed in. Catholics mostly ditched Holy Tradition and most of them believe in evolution, but for Orthodoxy this is simply not the case. We do not have a single saint who approved of any sort of evolutionary theory, to the contrary each saint who spoke up about this matter defended young earth creationism. Even if the entirety of the world accepted evolution tomorrow I would reject it. That is simply what Orthodox dogma binds me to do.
1. Can you try to get through a conversation without out hurling these juvenile insults? It isn't banter, it is just annoying
I am not in a position to disprove religion using terms which would satisfy anyone in this thread.
>i can disprove God
Under the scientific method how would anyone be able to fully "disprove" the existence of a supernatural entity which we can only see or interact with after we die?
Again... I should have been more clear with my words. For your world view nothing will disprove the existence of God. You do not believe in logic or certain parts of science. That can be said of many things. We cannot disprove any Gods or man-made fables which do not operate in the realm of science.
you're black
