Ooh, that’s a tough one. I’ll get back to you tomorrow afternoon; I’ve got homework to finish tonight and school tomorrow. Plus, I need a bit of time to think.

Oh, and suppose you make my job easier: what particular thing makes you not believe in God?

Logic
Logic and common sense tell me god simply cannot be real just because of the few reasons Christians propose, an old book and the complexity of life do not mean there is a god

#1: We’ll just have to wait and see or ourselves, won’t we?
Ok

#2: Even Charles Darwin, the guy who came up with evolution theory, said that the idea of creatures evolving into different forms was absurd. He should know better than anyone else, considering it was his life’s work. Another reason against evolution is the marked lack of “missing link” species. Sure, there’s Australopithecus (or whatever the earliest hominids were called) and Archaeopteryx (which was a reptile), but other than that… there aren’t really that many. Surely some members of these transitionary species would have died in a place convenient for their fossilization?
"He should know better than everyone else" not necessarily, and, very few creatures end up fossilised

#3: This is a bit controversial. I can see fascinating arguments for either side. The best I can come up with off the top of my head is that the Bible provides a moral code that feels natural to the human consciousness.
Fair enough

#4: Not everything in the Bible is meant to be taken literally. Even among atheists, there was some debate as to whether the earth was created slowly but surely or in a (relatively) rapid series of cataclysmic events.
Ok
#5: Just because they have similar body structures (in the limbs, for example), doesn’t necessarily mean that they has a common ancestor. Find me five missing link species between crocodiles and green anole lizards. I’ll wait.
Missing links aren't easy to find, we fill in the gaps using logic, not every creature in history is fossilised

#6: The flood… well, we can safely assume that either one great flood covered the world at one point because many cultures with a written history has a myth of a great flood that covered the whole world. The American Indians, the Asian Indians, the Mesopotamians, and even more, all had myths of a great flood. It can’t be a mere coincidence.
Floods happen, bug ones, especially at the end of the ice age, that doesn't mean there was a huge one that covered the earth

You make some fair points, but those are against evolution, not proof of god

Yeah, but it’s generally easier to disprove something than to prove it.

Your still not proving it though

2: The theory of evolution was Darwin’s brainchild, and even he didn’t completely believe in it. And I agree; very few creatures end up fossilized, so there is very little solid proof for evolution. Now, I believe in natural selection better adapting a species to it’s habitat, but the idea that random mutations can completely change an organism’s traits is somehow difficult to fit into my thick skull.

#5: See #2, logically, even given millions of years, it doesn’t seem very likely for a dog’s descendants to decide to live on the ocean as whales, or for a family of fish to try to walk.

#6: “Bug floods”. Minor spelling mistake, I win!
In all seriousness, it isn’t too much of a stretch that the ice melted in multiple places simultaneously to cause big floods. And if there were people around to wrote those stories down in mythology, then it stands to reason that they didn’t happen so long ago as you’d think.

And sorry for the VERY late reply, I think I might have ADD.
