It's like the theists didn't even read that Carl Sagan article OTWO posted above.
It makes some extremely good points

Does Anyone Still Believe in God?
by LaurenM indo any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?
even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.
the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

If you would like - prove to me that "something" does not exist.
If your "something" existed, then there would be observable evidence of it.
There is no observable evidence of your "something."
Therefore, your "something" does not exist.

My issue with GMOs is not whether they're safe - I believe they are though there could be exceptions - but whether you can grow crops from them from seed.
Your issue, then, is not with GMOs, but with the corporations that spend the money and time on R&D.
I agree that it's pretty shitty that you can't use seed from a plant you grew without paying a royalty. I'm not sure what the solution is to that. I'm torn. On the one hand, it's crappy that you can't use seed that you've grown because of intellectual property laws. On the other hand, I recognize that a company would soon go bankrupt if they didn't restrict the use of seeds, and then you wouldn't have innovations, or corners would start to get cut.
Similarly, I really really really WANT my music to be free, but I also want the artist to keep making music.
If they were, for example, to use peanut genes in corn and a consumer has a major allergy to peanuts then that could be a problem.
Before any GMO product goes to market, it is tested thoroughly. I don't know what tests they perform (I'm by no means an expert), but I would imagine allergy tests would certainly be one of them since it's a product for consumption.

Just because Science can't currently explain something doesn't mean that's proof of a deity.
Science couldn't explain comets, so mankind made up reasons for why they were there. Today, though, Science CAN explain comets.

Frequently, creationist arguments amount to, "This is complex. Therefore, God exists."
Which God? Why that God?

an auto catalyst is evidence of guidance.
I think an important question to ask is, "How is the existence of an auto catalyst evidence of divine guidance and not just evidence of the existence of an auto catalyst being a part of nature?
One can easily say that about other things. For instance, "Gravity is evidence of guidance." OK, interesting statement, but how is that evidence of guidance, namely divine guidance?
What is the line of evidence that makes one think that the existence of an auto catalyst is evidence for a creator?
