i see i see. however you only have 1 problem with this and it is a very small problem. if god guided evolution to where it is now... why wasn't this covered in the bible?

Christianity is just a subset of theism. Arguing for theism or deism doesn't mean arguing for Christianity.

in the link it said god guided evolution. regardless if your christian or not. you still must prove a god exist for him to guide evolution. doesn't help that other believers don't even believe in evolution.

Well, you must hypothesize that God exists. The hypothesis comes before proof, and guides its pursuit.

But I'm not sure we can prove God exists. There are plenty of true things we can't prove, even in the much more limited universe of mathematics. We usually call those propositions conjectures, but Gödel showed that there are true conjectures that can't be proven.

"According to Eugenie Scott, Director of the US National Center for Science Education, 'In one form or another, Theistic Evolutionism is the view of creation taught at the majority of mainline Protestant seminaries, and it is the official position of the Catholic church".'

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_of_evolution_by_religious_groups

But again, I'm not defending Christianity here. It might help to think of the word "God" as just a handy placeholder for describing a certain kind of deep mystery behind all existence.

Well hypothesizing a god atleast requires some bit of proof. for me i understood the concept of gravity by witnessing the process in real time. and understanding their was a rule to it. while the rules of gravity is little more complex, the cliff note is. what goes up. must come down. a universal rule of life. with god their are many rules. but upon breaking them... nothing happens. so hypothesizing a god! would have first require prerequisites in order to carry out this theory.

Yeah sorry about that i should've been more clear on that one. yes i am familiar with the statistic that their are more believers who believe in evolution then not. what i meant was. their are people who use the bible. to not believe in evolution, in lue of their own stupidity.

 

And i wouldn't use "god" as a place holder for a mythical thing that could've made everything. i get what you mean. their could be in all possibility a god! but that term is human in nature. if their were to be a god... it may not be the god that we think it is. a true god could've possibly been a human with demigod levels of power. but only had enough power, to make like... 50% of the universe. died, and everything else went on autopilot. or something like that.
