10. So she KNOWS it

even though there is no evidence. But it isn't because of her faith that she knows it. Why what evidence does she have?

That she thinks it makes more sense to her is a logical leap. And she isn't even giving voice to a vague "creator" as our member Gil does.

Christian theism absolutely does not explain the the world better than naturalism. It is that naturalism explains it better that Christians call upon faith for their belief in God.

Her statement about it is almost laughable.
