       As we all know and some of us are not ashamed to admit, atheists have long   
   and consistently been whining and claiming that there is supposedly "no   
   evidence" of God's existence, and nothing on this planet that suggests anything   
   other than random chance, ie no superior intelligent being(s) of any kind, have   
   ever had anything to do with the development of the planet or any life that   
   exists here. When challenged directly and specifically about the supposed   
   evidence they think should exist if there is some sort of God associated with   
   Earth, not a single one of them has been able to give a realistic explanation   
   as   
   to WHAT sort of evidence they think there "should be", WHERE they think the   
   evidence "should be", or WHY they think it "should be" to God's benefit to   
   provide us with the supposed evidence. Since atheists can't even attempt to try   
   to explain what they want people to think they think they're trying to talk   
   about, anyone who's curious about it must try to guess what they think they're   
   trying to talk about. Maybe they think there should be a huge plaque somewhere   
   saying something like: This Planet Developed By Holy Terraforming LLC? What   
   else   
   could they think they want? Some sort of invoice? Maybe a type of users'   
   manual,   
   telling us how to adjust weather conditions etc? Some of them seem to think if   
   God existed there should be no suffering, so maybe they think suffering is some   
   type of force that can be adjusted? Maybe they think there should be a huge   
   adjusting knob that can be dialed down, or a series of knobs so it can be   
   adjusted to different levels in different areas? They also often seem to think   
   God would use "magic" because none of them seem able to comprehend this quote   
   which is one of the basic starting lines none of them can get as "far" as:   
      
   "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -   
   Arthur   
   C. Clarke   
      
   Dealing with people so restricted in their thinking, so unable to think things   
   through, and so unable to reach basic starting lines associated with this   
   topic,   
   it's hard to try to think down to their level and try to figure out what they   
   want people to think they think they're trying to talk about FOR THEM, since   
   they're unable to do it for themselves.   
      
   disclaimer: the stupid bullshit about God re-growing amputated limbs on demand   
   does not count
