Bad analogy.

You are in the minority of Americans, probably minority in the World that believe that man evolved from ape. So, babble away in hopes of convincing yourself that you answer to no deity, because man can't help you with your personal choice.

I listened to a scientist give a lecture once in college (years ago) that gave us a very interesting supposition. He told us to take an old mechanical watch (such as a pocket watch) apart and drop the pieces in a mason jar. Put the top on it and start shaking it. Then he asked us to imagine how many years, centuries or thousands of years of shaking before that watch would finally be put back together by shaking it. Then he suggested that we think about the big bang theory and how long it would be for something as complicated as a human to be produced by shaking a bunch of molecules and atoms around in a jar. And he asked us, which is more plausible. Believing in a deity that created everything, or believing that something that came from who knows where, blew up and then amazingly formed a working, thinking and rationalizing human of two genders that could reproduce and create another human being.

I realize that I am wasting this conversation on you, but I had plenty of time on my hands and decided to put a few thoughts in this comment. Just remember, before you go about attempting to disparage those of faith, know what the word "faith" means.
