Determining what is “moral”

No; most atheists and many theists ( or most? ) know that man evolved and say this because evolution is a scientific fact.

“…For theists it was "created " by God.
For atheists everything we know came from the Big Bang.
In my way of thinking there i ...[text shortened]... big bang theory is a theory about how a supernatural “God” just magically created everything?

I dont believe in "God" with a capital "G" that is a separate entity from the rest of creation.
Also, what others classify "supernatural" just all falls into the "natyral" category for me.
And magic? Well, I believe it exists in some forms but it only seems "magical" from our viewpoint. Say walking through walls. That may be an ordinary,everyday thing on another planet.

So does the word “God” to you is LITRALLY everything we see in this world –i.e. “the physical world”?
-if so:

1, why call that “God”? I mean, why not, just like almost everybody else, call it “the physical world”?

2, if I go and take a leak in the woods, am I pissing on God? 🙁

Absolutely none of us? Can you categorically say that?
Would you still believe the same if, in your experience, you believed that you had first-hand contact with E.T.'s?

If i was a betting man, which i am, i would wager a substantial sum of money that no human being has ever been to Mars.

If i believed i had had contact with ET's then i guess i might think differently. But first i would have to rationalise what this 'contact' was.

Thank you for the answers, the use of the word "probably" has been duly noted.

Of course, i can't say anything with 100% certainty.
