You can't understand. God is a concept that you can't fathom.

Then what good is it? Of what benefit is the Bible if it only illustrates the impossibility of conceiving god? How does this superiority fit into the gospel message? Wouldn't Jesus' life be a complete waste of time if people couldn't fathom the god he supposedly brought to mankind?

There's no evidence to support natural selection. Instead, all of the evidence is contrary.

And Christians accuse
us of being close-minded. To what do you credit antibiotics, an act of god?
Quote:
The golden age of antibiotics proved to be a short-lived one. During the past few decades, many strains of bacteria have evolved resistance to antibiotics. An example of this is Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacteria that causes gonorrhea, shown at right. In the 1960s penicillin and ampicillin were able to control most cases of gonorrhea. Today, more than 24 percent of gonorrheal bacteria in the U.S. are resistant to at least one antibiotic, and 98 percent of gonorrheal bacteria in Southeast Asia are resistant to penicillin.1 Infectious bacteria are much harder to control than their predecessors were ten or twenty years ago.
Doctors miss the “good old days,” when the antibiotics they prescribed consistently cured their patients. However, evolutionary theory suggests some specific tactics to help slow the rate at which bacteria become resistant to our drugs.
