So as a 4 year old, when my mother contracted scarlet fever and her heart was damaged, resulting in severe heart disease in her 60s and beyond, that was all due to the terrible sins she had committed when she was 1, 2, and 3 years old.
Very interesting. And certainly very loving on the part of god.
I don't think that's what Jeff is saying. I think he's saying it's because Adam disobeyed God.

And hence you demonstrate why it is a pointless exercise to present evidence. Your mind is already made up. You said right there that the notion of God is too unbelievable. Any evidence would just result in you finding a way to rationalize or dismiss it.
Well let's see. I'm severely near sighted. It is because the shape of my eyeball grew too long. The shape of my eyeball was determined from the DNA handed down from my parents. The DNA code is riddled with imperfections because ultimately sin entered this world and put a curse on all living things. Sin is death so our physical bodies start a process of dying as soon as we are born. Plus man bears some blame in that matter. If a pregnant mother does drugs and her baby ends up being born with defects, that's not God's fault. It's a consequence of sin.
OTOH, the are many incredibly designed features of the human body that even science can't explain or really serve no purpose in a godless natural reality like the ability to laugh and speak in different voices and accents. Or having a conscious and a sense of self identity.
In other words a very sloppy job if done by an ostensibly perfect creator.
It IS god's fault on several counts, such as:
inventing drugs (remember that creation thing where god made everything)
making them destructive
making people weak and subject to temptation.
Your selective practice of:
God is/no god isn't, responsible, to suit your "needs" is despicable, while, simultaneously, pathetic.
My mind is subject to processing new information, had you the guts to produce any (if it existed in the first place).
And you wonder why I mock believers.
All this obfuscation and BS because of "your" lust for eternal life, and cowardice to face your absolute mortality.

Silly rabbit, it was because some cat named Adam ate an apple umpteen million years ago. Makes perfect sense to me!!

I don't think that's what Jeff is saying. I think he's saying it's because Adam disobeyed God.
And I think that's a ridiculous concept that some unknown "man", whose existence cannot be confirmed, doomed trillions of people. Sounds more like Stephen King than god.
You’re a sometimes deist, believing in a creator god who does not interfere with this world.
At the same time, don't believe the God of the Bible exists because you think He does not interfere with this world.
What sense does that make?
Yes, he believes in a god but its just not the god in the bible. Basically, there is some thing but it just different than the god in the bible.
so he is like a Buddhist that attacks Christians. Its just one statement of belief about god trying to dislodge another statement of belief about god. And as we see here on CD, the preferred method is to question others beliefs and not address ones own. And so long as we say "I didn't say it was fact", that means its ok.
Its the strangest evaluation process I ever saw.
