I could go on to say that all fruits appear to be the right size to be consumed, but that doesn't appear to be the real issue here.
right size? that's a tautology. yes, of course, if something is consumable, then it is the "right" size, whatever "right size" means. what about fruits that aren't consumable and/or not the "right size?" now that means there is no intelligent design. once again, this is stacking the deck and begging the question.
I'm just amazed of people who can make the assumption there is no God. To make such a statement says you possess absolute knowledge of the entire universe, hardly something a true seeker of scientific knowledge can realistically and rationally say.
atheists do NOT make any assumptions. the concept of god is TAUGHT. to not accept an idea is NOT an assumption.
But that is another issue, that again clouds the real concern and that is, what if you are wrong? Mathematician Blaise Pascal made his famous wager that if, as a christian, he were wrong about about God then he lost nothing but if he right he had gained everything. The issue for you is to consider that if you were to die this day and had to face the God you currently deny, where would you eternal destiny be? You're placing your hopes on a belief system (evolution) that requires more faith to believe in than christianity. I would really encourage you to listen to your conscios on this one and what God may be trying to tell you.
i've already addressed pascal's wager in this thread. look for it.
it's famous because it's so fundamentally illogical yet christians still try to use it. i'm not going to go into detail AGAIN of all the reasons why pascal's wager is plain goofy, but you can start here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wager
i personally think this is the best and simplest disproof:
Ignores benefits/losses while alivePascal here takes what may be called an "eternal perspective." That is, his wager is not concerned with the lifetime of the person before death. At the very least, it assumes that belief and non-belief are of equal value before death. This ignores the time, money, and effort spent upon worship required to establish belief that could be redirected to other, more beneficial pursuits. Thus, a life spent on belief when there is no god results in a loss while a life spent on non-belief when there is no god results in a gain. I.e. If there is no god, life ends at death. This means that the only gain possible is during life, and before death. If one lives as if there is a god when there is in actuality not a god, then one's life before death (the only life one has) is wasted.
if there is no god, you've just waste all your time, money, and effort on worshiping a lie when you could have spent all that time, money, and effort on more beneficial and fun things in life. that's a HUGE gamble likewise. therefore, trying to get people to believe out of a false fear is totally irrational.
even pascal later admitted his wager was flawed, but of course, no pastor or priest wants to tell you that (STACKING THE DECK). even then, pascal's opinion is irrelevant without appealing to authority (yes, appeal to authority is another popular logical fallacy christians love to employ...it's another propaganda tactic).
. If you're good, go to purgatory, then Heaven. If you're bad, go to heck. It sounds very, very harsh on the outside, but isn't life? When you go deeper into the faith, it starts to make sense.
