Nailed it, plain and simple. Period.
No, it's still about evidence and justification, always was and always will be.
For you, maybe quite the case - but that "all about" is a personal human need - or possibly some avoidance behavior. In the course of this thread, some non-believers have attributed a variety of beliefs and behaviors to Christians as a category - and much of that as negative. That behavior has been ineffective. Really, after all, these disagreements are not disagreements between and among humans - the disagreements are clear when one compares what God says with that which is said by non-believing humans. Of course, this cleft is nothing new - it is, at least, centuries old. God endures - the human does not.



Human need? It is undeniable that we as humans have needs and wants.

However, no matter how much you may need or want something, that need or want does not alter the reality of the world is or how it works.

Not wanting natural evolution to be true won't change the fact that this is how the world works, life evolves to meet the challenges of the environment.

No matter how much we have a need for a God, our need does not make God a reality.
