So most people don't believe in the leading scientific theory? Despite it being extensively tested and supported by numerous studies? If you're open to learning more, I recommend exploring the following resources:

https://www.livescience.com/474-controversy-evolution-works.html

https://bio.libretexts.org/Courses/Lumen_Learning/Biology_for_Non-Majors_I_(Lumen)/12%3A_Theory_of_Evolution/12.03%3A_Evidence_for_Evolution

On the other hand, there's an entirely different perspective regarding the existence of God. You can delve into this topic by visiting Britannica - Existence of God. When you examine these sources, you'll find that the evidence supporting evolution is rooted in reproducible scientific studies, while arguments for the existence of God often rely on philosophical reasoning, such as the ontological argument. While I can't disprove this argument, it ultimately hinges on faith rather than concrete empirical evidence.

Anyway, I don't expect to convince you or anyone else, just wanted to waste some time and further my own understanding of the subject, ignore this if you want.

I meant must, not most, sorry, also, I can see you are not a nut job like many other users here, just a bit bored lol Evolution is a legit theory and possibility, I am unable to deny that obviously, but it's more of a "It can technically happen, but will it happen?" thing for me, appreciate the effort you put on your comment tho
