They can both be true, but they can also both be false. At the end of the day, each of us can chose to believe one or both to be true or one or both to be false, or chose to withhold believing anything. There are IMHO better reasons to believe both are probably true, there are so many things we choose to believe without proof, no? Maybe we should also consider whether it is beneficial to us as individuals and as a society to believe something to be true ahead of the proof that may never come. How is your life impacted one way or another based on what you believe to be true even if you can't prove it? There could be more of an impact than you know.
Except there is NO Evidence for god/godS (and you gotta pick Which/Witch one!),
But Overwhelming evidence for evolution.
You can indeed choose to believe anything you want, but that does not mean it's rational to do so based on evidence.
So just a vacuous statement on your part.

Sorry, but you appear to attack being legalistic, while at the same time exercising it.
At the same time, PC's beliefs don't bother me. I am not bothered by whatever religious beliefs people have.
Let me point out that nothing in any of my posts refers to religion.
I've certainly never said I even have one.
I may be a Druid....I like trees, and I look good in blue......
Everything in my discussion of Darwinism is based on science.
It boils down to the the lack of proof of the thesis of Darwin, over nearly two centuries....as I pointed out in the OP, and that the only religion being proposed it Darwinism, a denomination of the religion of Militant Secularism,
Don't let 'em fool you....it is a religion.
From the Amazon review of
Godless, by Coulter…
Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion. In Godless, Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal), its clergy (public school teachers), its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident).
Then, of course, there's the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
For liberals, evolution is the touchstone that separates the enlightened from the benighted.
And....Franklin Delano Roosevelt, "...the Socialist Savior of the Democratic Party."
the Catechism: you didn't build that.....any success is just dumb luck
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D., Hawaii) on Tuesday called for liberal activists to believe in climate change as if it were a "religion."

2. And the equally brilliant Ben Shapiro runs with "its sacraments (abortion)"....
"When Abortion Becomes a Sacrament
3. ...alleged comedian Michelle Wolf paid tribute to the most important facet of American life: abortion. On her Netflix show on Sunday, Wolf dressed up in red, white and blue, and shrieked into the camera, "God bless abortions, and God bless America!" She explained: "Women, if you need an abortion, get one! If you want an abortion, get one! ...
4. ...a ground shift has taken place in how Democrats think about abortion. Back in 2005, I wrote that the Democratic "safe, legal and rare" formulation regarding abortion was logically and morally untenable: If Democrats wanted abortion to be rare thanks to its inherent immorality, there was no reason for it to be legal. Democrats have finally come around: They're now "shouting" their abortions, proclaiming them from the rooftops, suggesting that there is a moral
good achieved by abortion.
5. ...Lena Dunham said just two years ago, "I still haven't had an abortion, but I wish I had." Thus, Chelsea Handler, who has had two abortions, explained in the pages of Playboy, "I don't ever look back and think, 'God, I wish I'd had that baby.'" Her article was accompanied by a picture of a woman's hand with a raised middle finger with a pink bow around it; attached to the bow is a small card that reads, "It's an abortion!"
6. Gloria Steinem once remarked, "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament." But modern-day feminists have determined that abortion
isa sacrament specifically
because women can get pregnant: Showing that control over your body even extends to the killing of your unborn child is a way of standing up against patriarchal concerns with Wwomen as the source of future generations.
7. ...abortion isn't just another decision. It's a giant middle finger to the moral establishment. And those who would fight abortion are desacralizing the mysterious holiness of a ritual that reinforces women's control. No wonder Wolf thinks God blesses abortion; abortion is her god."
When Abortion Becomes A Sacrament
8. “It [Communism] is not new. It is, in fact, man's second oldest faith. Its promise was whispered in the first days of the Creation under the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil: "Ye shall be as gods." It is the great alternative faith of mankind. Like all great faiths, its force derives from a simple vision. Other ages have had great visions. They have always been different versions of the same vision: the vision of God and man's relationship to God. The Communist vision is the vision of Man without God.
It is the vision of man's mind displacing God as the creative intelligence of the world.” Whittaker Chambers, Witness
9. Everyone, it seems, needs religion.
Being atheistic, the Left invents several iteration....including:
"... the BLM movement is a pseudo-church, packed with false doctrines, false priests, and an eschatological (end-of-days messianic utopian) “melanin Messiah” and an alternative Christ, promising far more than can be delivered.
- The pagan roots underpinning Black Lives Matter Inc.;
- Their slogans, and hashtags; and
- Why genuflecting to BLM is idolatry.
Of special interest is the pagan ritualism associated with "
say his name/say her name" invocations that form part of the Black Lives Matter movement."
