Macro evolution isn't in accordance with the Bible and has never been observed.

But what about the lack of evidence makes reasonable conclusions unreasonable?

repeating your proposition does not prove it.

Can you answer why or not?

the two must share a fundamental substrate

You still have not answered why...

He is "seperate" in the sense that he is not of the universe.

Does not mean He cannot interact with it.

I've always thought that not being able to yell FIRE! in a crowded movie theater because idiots who can't think for themselves would panic and kill one another trying to escape the madness was, well, stupid. Hate speach. How stupid. I hate hate speach but that goes without saying. Or is that thinking? It goes without thinking.  

maybe, "spirit" or whatever you want to call it

No. I do not call it a spirit. That has nothing to do with what I am talking about.

We most definitely can observe the order of the particles. That is what I am talking about. In fact, I will argue this "order of the particles" is what makes something what it is.

Ah! Ok! I see where you are going with this.

So, materially speaking, everything is the same. I agree!

But... are they the same thing...formally? Meaning are the different neutrinos, electrons, neutrons, protons, whatever you want to call them, ordered the same way in everything?

The god thing was simpler, but it wasn’t correct.

He wrote it in a book. Think of a science book but more accurate. Think of a cave painting or pottery shards and bone fragments, but better. 

We were created in his image.

so they were not really taking anything from the Palestinians.

Omnivore. Saying that Jehovah God is presented by his word the Bible as omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent or omnibenevolent in the theological sense is like saying an omnivore can eat the space-time continuum and nuclear weapons.  

Omniscient means knowing all in an exaggerated sense. Like Santa knows when you are sleeping. God didn't know what Adam and Eve had done until he asked them, he didn't know what Cain had done until he asked him; he sent three angels to ascertain whether or not reports he heard were accurate and he sent Joshua and the spies out in the land to report on it before they went in. God doesn't know what it is like to experience sin. 

Is he omnipotent in the theologically exaggerated sense? No. God can't lie. God can't die. God can't come to this universe. (1 Kings 8:27; 2 Chronicles 2:6) If he can't do that he certainly isn't omnipresent. And if he destroyed the entire world once, and soon again how can he be omnibenevolent? All the omni's as they are presented, are religious superstitious nonsense. 

Ive been atheist for a while now, but I’m just realizing that I haven’t really heard both sides of the argument. No disrespect to Alex O’Connor, but I feel like sometimes the sources I’m getting this stuff from can be a little one-sided, and what better place to hear the other side, than right here?

The Christian religion - at least the Reformed part of that religion says it is impossible for someone to become a true Christian. For me, that is one of the strongest arguments for the existence of the Christian God. We say that people only become Christians because God reveals himself to them by revelation. Hence, it is impossible to prove his existence. 

I'm also a traditional atheist.

And also willing to be convinced otherwise.

Though I would require hard evidence.

Not myth and legend fantasy magical stuff.

If you have the patience to watch a 1hr debate and want to see Alex debate someone on his level, I'd recommend his discussion with William Lane Craig on the Kalam cosmological argument.

There are people who absolutely hate Craig, but he's probably as deep as you get into complex apologetics. If you want someone who appeals more to the "common man," I'd recommend John Lennox and his debate with Hitchens.

So for example,  if you wanted to buy something from me priced at £1000, and I demanded payment in pounds sterling, and you only had bitcoin.

How would that work?

Honestly, that was a really funny video.

Spacetime has no objective reality

Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you mean by "substance"

Thus, when people believe in causations they never observed, they might as well believe in santa.

Sadly, evolution doesn't care about feelings.

A quick google told me that “parsimonious” is basically equivalent to Occam’s razor. Correct me if I’m wrong. If that is what you meant, first, how is creationism the simplest explanation? (This is a genuine question, sorry if It came of a sarcastic). Second, if you are right, it’s Occam’s Razor versus tons of scientific evidence, so you tell me who wins. 

None of the dead Nazis, Romans, Confederates, or baby killing Aztecs will ever appreciate the tears.

So are nazis, sometimes humans need to be bombed.

I just find it weird that the same ultra-educated on US universities are against killing for a select group, and are just fine killing other brown people in the Middle East to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars....

The love of diversity increases with one's distance from it.  I just don't care how white/non white the neighborhood I live in is.  I care more about cheap property that is within driving distance of my job.  If that's in Vermont, then fine.  If it's in East Hartford, then fine.  I don't care.

must necessarily be fundamentally comprised of the same substance

Nope.

To say they are the same substance is to say they are the same actual thing.

That is absurd.

The international community is concerned with apolitical transference of humanitarian resources, so those don't necessarily count when we're discussing the real true beliefs of either the jews or muslims.

schools are also becoming more homogeneous

I don't think this is true.

How is the Bitcoin price calculated.

but people have a strong tendency to integrate with other nationalities in the US.

If immigrants wanted segregation, then America is the wrong place to move as ethnic neighborhoods are hard to find in the US.

You can get the same services whether you are a Haitian living in a Haitian Neighborhood or in Suburbia.

What if the expats living in the US learn English (most do)?  If they didn't know English, then understandable.  But about 50% of immigrants that move to America are fluent in English I think (Chat GPT), and their kids are especially more likely to be fluent in English.  There is a reason why we are a melting pot rather than a mosaic.

Integrating doesn't require additional cost.
