God doesn't exist, no matter how you word it.

At least these are good people, but they're still wrong.

It is extremely ignorant to just accept one belief system without looking at other ends. I am not saying you are wrong, you may very well be correct and God may not exist. All I am saying is that no one on the earth can know what is beyond this reality. There is know way to know what happens after death until we actually die, and for the people who have died, we can't just ask them. The theory of evolution, although it is a very well accepted theory, is still just a theory, and is not an absolute truth. Again, I am not saying you are wrong, or anyone is wrong, or anyone is right, just that generally accepted scientific scientific theories can be and have been proven wrong. For thousands of years the top scientists thought the earth was flat, but then some ballsy hotshot, decided to prove them wrong. For the longest time, the top scientists thought that the earth was at the center of not just the solar system, but the whole universe, and it was accepted at truth. But they got proven wrong too. So just please don't accept one thing as absolute truth and discount all others, because maybe evolution is true, and will never be proven wrong, but there is always that small little chance that maybe, maybe , another hotshot will prove them wrong and bring in another theory that no one has thought of.

1) We have known the earth was round and its approximate size since ancient times, Eratosthenes figured out the earth's circumference to within 2% of its actual value around 230 BCE. The much earlier civs had figured the world was round because when you have a ship sailing on open water you see the top of the sail first over the horizon. The dark ages and catholic church erased much of what humanity had learned during the classical period.
2) The Theory of Evolution doesn't use the everyday definition of "theory" it uses the scientific definition which is "a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be used as principles of explanation and prediction for a class of phenomena". Theory as you use it means an idea, untested, unverified, a scientific theory is tested and proven to within a standard of proof.
3) The Terra-centric solar model was something proposed by the church, again you go back to the ancient world and you find that they knew the earth rotated the sun, and the astronomers theorized from the movement of stars that the sun was even orbiting something even greater..

I realize your not disagreeing with the above, but they are glaring errors in your logic. Science is great because it actively challenges you to prove it wrong.

I see your point and I was referring to the scientific definition of theory btw. I am just saying that there is no way we will ever be able to absolutely know the absolute truth

If god exists then why are people of different skin colors since we are made in his image? Shouldn't we all be one color?

Three words: Shem, Ham, Japheth. Supposed to be the three descendants of all people as Caucazoids, Negroids, and Mongoloids. I don't really believe that, but a lot of Christians do.

If God doesn't exist then why do plants grow up? Shouldn't this "gravity" make them grow down?

If god exists, and incest is wrong, since god only made 1 man and 1 woman, and the sins of the father damn the sins of the child, doesnt that mean that no one goes to heaven and we all go to hell as we further propagate the sin of incest?

Well to paraphrase Prof. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the great thing about there not being a god is that it's true, whether you believe in it or not.
