Trocity is both dumb and a troll. Ignore him, like most others do.

TIL evolution is proven false if you cannot make someone understand it even though they are emotionally and spiritually invested in not understanding it.

If God was to mate with a descendant of an ape, by default that ape would rise in dignity beyond earthly creature. This argument assumes simple creatures can taint God's dignity.

Athiests are idiots for thinking they know everything.
See, this assume that the origin of something, it's distant predecessors, lowers it. Can something not become more exalted than it's predecessors in your eyes?
Humans are exactly what humans are no matter what. A modern human is a modern human regardless of origin. Why would two identical beings- or rather, the exact same being described differently- be of different quality not for what it is, but for what something else is?
This is something I find interesting- the belief that things cannot be improved.
Question, do you believe Christianity is falsifiable? That is to say, that it makes specific claims that can be proven false by testing?
One of the things about evolution and other scientific hypothesis is they make claims that can be tested and checked.
They are believed accurate because a hypothesis was made that we could check to see if it was false, and then it was checked, and it didn't show to be false in any of the tests.
They don't think they know everything, in general.
Also, atheist isn't a belief. That's like calling all religious people, Hindu, Shinto, Christian, etc., 'theists' as if it were one belief.
Some branches of Buddhism can be called atheist. Scientology. Believe that aliens control us from above. Belief that reality is made purely by collective consensus.
Atheism is not a belief, it is a category of beliefs.
Science is not atheism, it's a tool that tons of people, theistic and atheistic, use.
(Futurama even did a joke on this, where someone made this argument, then when one was pointed out, another was added, cut to nighttime with a chart of ancestors- *real* ones, mind you- that goes off the screen and is 20+ long)
Also like I posted upthread, there's a species known as the London Underground Mosquito. It's direct ancestor is known, but due to being isolated in the UK subway system and able to live much further north, and go through many generations year-round while it's originator species is seasonal, it can no longer interbreed with it's relative.
And it's evolved in to it's own species due to the circumstances of a human-made system that's existed for under 200 years and which greatly favored divergence (isolated population, year-round food source, short generations).
Whether you're talking fossils or examining living creatures or checking DNA, the evidence is plentiful that evolution (btw, 'macroevolution' is an arbitrary term with no scientific basis) both exists and continues to function.
That doesn't matter. A God would never lower Himself to that level.

Most people believe Evolution not because they themselves are dumb, but cause they trust the "experts" who are feeding them evolutionary fast food, and so they don't bother questioning whether or not it's true.
