Every single person who accepts his existence does so by their own choice, using their own experiences to prove that fact. Basically, he always allowed humanity to make the choice in accepting something as true or false, if he presented himself, that would be completely dismissed.
As for are we insignificant, compared to God, yes. Just because you create something, does not mean it equals you in importance, it simply means you created it.
This whole comment is irrelevant, I cannot debate against your opinions of Jesus, nor predict the future.
Through the experiences in which life is lived. Life itself is proof that God exists, everything else is just strawberries on the cake. This is why I do not discount religions separate from my own, they may be worshiping the same being as I am, just under a different name or different form. God is pure, religion is not. This does not mean religion is bad, it just means it is completely man made, as such, it can never be completely true.
Macro evolution is a theory, and micro evolution has its boundaries, and as I said before, I do not discount science or its findings. This isn't a debate between science and religion, it is between Atheism and the belief in a deity, one can believe in God and Science at the same time, they do not undermine each other.
Answered above.
Our observations are not complete, nor are they accurate in the slightest, as such, the study of the universe is incomplete, making it irrational. The only way for science to become completely rational is for someone omnipotent, all knowing, and everywhere at once. Sounds familiar hmmm?
Where did that assumption come from? I explained 'day' is nothing more than a length of time, not a set length of time, nor a perceived amount of time. It is simply a separator between the order in which things were created. Day 1 could be 10 billion years, and day 2 could be 5 days, nbd. These are farm folk (as I explained before), try explaining billions of years to your average Joe today, let alone the average Joe back 15 thousand years ago.
As I specified before, dinosaurs do not need to be mentioned in the Bible, they could of very easily have been extinct long before human kind recorded history. This does not discount the fact that God exists, it is simply a petty argument people try to use to try and disprove Genesis. This will be the last time I explain that 'day' is not a length of time, it is simply a way to separate the order in which things were created.
