So you really don't get it at all then. We didn't come from apes, we share a common ancestor with them. Further back, we also share a common ancestor with dogs, further still with lizards, and if you go a hell of a long way back we share an ancestor with banana trees. The evidence for this is in DNA. We share over 40% of our DNA with bananas.
Apes, and bananas, and every other creature living today are just as evolved as humans. Evolution has no aim or peak, it is just continuous change overtime. Unfortunately, you would rather cling to fairy tales and myth than actually learn about the world.
So you share ancestry with dogs and lizards? Then you would agree with David Icke that there are reptilians in the White House?
As ridiculous as that sounds its even more ludicrous for man to deny his Maker.
Point blank, the proofs of God are vastly numerous, uncountable. It is interesting to sit and ponder on it. Why some people can't seem to see their own hand in front of their face? Is it indoctrination? We know they took prayer out of the schools decades ago. Then again, we had people who denied when the prophets walked.
Imagine seeing Moses split the Red sea miles across or Jesus giving life to clay pigeons. Imagine a man saying the moon will split in 2.. and then it does. Truth is people have seen these miracles in the flesh and still refused to believe. "Magic" they said.
So why is it? Why does one man believe and the next one denies? If you asked a pious man he would say God guides whomever he wills. So why does he not guide someone like you?
I'd bet if you built a house with your own hands you'd praise your own effort, yes? I'd bet if you grew some crops you'd praise your knowledge of the land and the sweat on your brow. I bet every time you go to pick up your paycheck you account all of it to your abilities.
Can you build a house without wood? Did you make the trees grow?
Can you grow food without water? Did you bring the rain?
Congrats, you made it to work. Who gave you the good health and the ability to do so?
No doubt you credit to yourself all of these things and then some.
If you want to know why some people believe and you personally don't. Ingratitude is one reason. You can't thank One whom you don't believe to exist.
I don't know what your personal situation is. I do know people like you are in the 100's of millions today, especially in China. I've heard some 700 million there are atheist. I know from an Islamic standpoint 999 humans out of every 1000 will be in the fire. So it stands to reason many are "ungrateful".
Its not just ingratitude. Arrogance, neglecting orphans and starving people, treating others poorly, oppressing people. Many things will blacken the heart and put you on the path to hell. For it is the heart that sees, not the eyes.
Life has a purpose but not everyone can see it.
Clearly you are the "voice of reason" here so I'll just let you enjoy until you reach the grave. Sadly, this is your heaven.
Peace.
