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

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

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.

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?
