The argument boils down on the odds.
Given the fact the human scientific endeavors have barely scratched the surface of universal laws:
My argument is:
Scenario 1: The odds of there existing a more intelligent being imparting consciousness to a evolving ape
IS HIGHER THAN
Scenario 2: Than the odds of the ape evolving consciousness by a mere genetic quirk in its evolutionary process.
Because
If there existed such a quirk in the evolutionary process
Then
there would exist several more intelligent conscious species/apes
But there is only one.
Hence it's back to arguing the odds.
Evolutionism is ALSO a matter of FAITH.
You apparently have MORE FAITH in the odds of scenario 2 being more plausible than scenario 1.
You have MORE FAITH that science has reached to such a advanced level, that modern science can now provide all the answers.
I have LESS FAITH that modern science has evolved to a level advanced enough to provide the relevant answer.
And the term Creationism should be re-defined as meaning NOT Evangelical Christianity ( or any other organized Religious belief). Because the Evangelical Christian Morons with their nonsensical manufactured ideology confuses the term Creationism by bringing the definition to the level of their nonsensical religious propaganda.
My using the Evangelical Christian provided terminology confuses the core discussion: Is there/is there not, a more intelligent being that was involved in the evolution of Human consciousness.
There should be a new word to provide semantic difference between the ideas. maybe you can call it:
Divinism: a Higher more intelligent creature had a hand in imparting consciousness to modern Humans.
Using semantics polluted by moronic religious nonsense confuses the argument.
You do not have to believe in any religious dogma to assess the possibility of there existing a more intelligent creature who is/was involved in the process of human evolution.
This guy probably says it better

Quote from stu:
Why make a false argument to try and prove your point when that will only serve to undermine it?
Evolution is nothing to do with an amoeba eventually metamorphosing over billions of years into the conscious modern Human.
You should perhaps study what Evolution does explain before making up stuff which it does not.
What answer? Evolution is fact and theory based on fact. Those facts and theories of Evolution are not about creation.... so what answer are you trying to force Evolution into providing?
Logic dictates no such things. There is no logic in making false arguments to support false claims for a so called superior being.
Another one coming to a conclusion without substantial evidence or any corroborating facts.
You sound like a creationist knocking both creationism and Evolution to make the case for creationists.
No, that's you saying "He says: Your 'religion' is NOT unique."
Not using the gift of consciousness is clearly advisable when talking for "Him".
Rather than shamming unasked for mercy onto others through your own blind nonsensical faith, I think you might do better seeking some factual knowledge of Evolution for yourself.
just a suggestion.
