You are crazy man, you can't test for the existence of God. Jeeez man. I think people are as dumb, and some don't even know the definition of scientific theory and try to pass off some simplified version that fits their own purpose (ie you).
On the contrary. I believe it is you that suffers tunnel vision. See, I didn't even need to call you names.

The problem with tunnel vision is you can only see "God" in the biblical sense. Your hatred of religion is blind siding you. God is many things to many people and not all fit your comfy little interpretation.

I see God as nothing more than a name given to a higher being. Don't you find it odd that since before man even started written language ALL races told stories of a God or a creator? Where do you suppose this concept found in every corner of the globe from day one started. Did some guy just up and say I think I'll make a name called God? Wouldn't this be something of interest to science?

Why out of all the possible concepts to explain extraordinary events did Gods come to be? I think this is one of those things that must have it's roots in fact. Why is it Gods are always different than man? Often they are described in human form but are in no way a simple man? Although Gods vary from one civilization to another they all have common traits.

Now I'm not a "scientists" but I did stay at a Holiday In last night!

Anyway, you don't need to be a scientists to see obviously something must account for this phenomenon. Some actual event(s) had to have happened many years ago to produce such a global uniform concept of a higher being, a creator a God in name. Would this be of interest to science? apparently not.

We're a race of common sense people. If we don't know how something works or happens we use common sense in an attempt to understand. Whats important is that evolution and creationism represent totally different periods of human intellect. They both try and explain the same event, but because of the gap in time, the concepts differ greatly.

Evolution is much easier to except today because it uses much newer concepts than creationism. Lets face it, its easier to understand the theory of evolution than some guy waving his hand and it all begins. Evolution makes sense, but there are some major flaws in the theory that just can't be ignored without just having faith in the theory.

To this day science still teaches that man evolved from apes. Absolutely no proof(see missing link), but thats still what science teaches. So the fact remains as far as we have evidence man just showed up on earth. Science has also gone back in time to what they say is when life began. Back to that single cell organism science says is probably the results of a lightning strike on a scum pond. Huston, we have a problem. In the fossil record beside this single cell organism we find other complex organisms. WTF?

OK now for the non-religious theory that keeps getting ignored. Common sense tells me that the lack of evidence to prove all things evolved from a single parent, and god knows they've looked, and that science has also found not just one beginning organism but several complex organisms that the theory that the earth was seeded makes far better sense. By seeded, this could have been by accident or intentional. This would be up to science, should "they" except the challenge, to prove or disprove.

God is nothing more than the name given by people with a very limited understanding of their environment. A name responsible for past unexplainable events. An earth quake buries a brothel and the story goes God caused the earth to swallow the sinners. A simple story of the time explaining a very real event that can be scientifically tested for accuracy. Without the knowledge of tectonic plates they improvise with common sense of the time. And teach a moral value in the process.
