It doesn't have zero evidence. There have been studies that trace the first human bloodline to North Africa or the Middle East, IE the suspected location of the Garden of Eden. There has also been studies on the complexities of the human species and how it is almost impossible for a non-thinking single celled organism to produce something such as the human brain which can process and understand concepts faster than any supercomputer in the world.

But that can be rationalized by science as well, i.e. the origin of our evolution as we know humans today. What I'm trying to say is that there is nothing that religion can explain, which can't be explained more rationally and believably by science. And there is not a shed of tangible evidence that God indeed exists.

Also there is also good and evil. If we are just another one of the millions of species, how come we do not act purely on instinct as they do. Do you think that if we evolved from something such as a single celled organism that we would grasp the concept of good and evil that the Animal Kingdom has not? Animals will kill and hunt each other without remorse, they will have many mates but no attachment to any of them. Even the smartest animals in the worlds such as dolphins and pigs cannot grasp moral right and wrong. If all animals evolved, then how come they do not carry this moral asset?

As floorpuncher stated, there are animals which exibit the same characteristics as ourselves. Obviously, our superior method thinking and morals come from our intelligence and this can be explained by evolution. Of course it is possible for us to stem from single celled organisms. This can be explained by billions of years of evolution. These changes are so tiny you can barely see them if you look at a small scale (thousands of years) but on a huge scale it is very reasonable. I do not feel religion provides the same type of rational explanations to justify their assumptions.

Carbon Dating can be widely inconsistent, and is usually based off assumptions. I am definitely not disproving it, I am just saying. Also how do you know the Creator couldn't of placed them there to test his faith, or placed many vacant obstacles in a believers life to test the durability of their faith. It is not like they are actual Dinosaurs, just the fossils left behind, which can only explain so much.

But why would God intentionally put hurdles in our way to trip us up? Why would he allow rational people such as myself to slip through the cracks and burn in hell for using the reason he supposedly gave me? I know you cannot answer these questions, but this is the type of rational that leads me to believe there is no God. Most of the answers given to back up religion just do not make sense.
