But in reality, it's not that simple for me. I'm not denying the existence of a higher power...I simply just DON'T KNOW.
Evolution also plays a huge factor in this for me. It's hard to deny evolution when it's all around us. Think back to the 1800s when humans were riding horses to get around. Now think of the early 1900s when the automobile was invented and commercialized.
Hell, think back to the 1980s when cell phones looked like this:
Nowadays, we have cameras and texting and all sorts of other things on our cellphones. Call it progress or advancement if you want, but that's all evolution is: progress.
I get your point, even though technological advancement isn't exactly a good example of evolution.

A better example could be to look at people themselves. Used to be looooooong ago people actually used the wisdom teeth as we call them now, then we didn't need them so our skulls are as we have them now, in which those teeth become troublesome for us and we need them to be pulled. Now as I have found out from a dentist, some people aren't even growing wisdom teeth anymore. This is one of the most physically evident examples of evolution that we can actually see happening within recorded history, on top of it all within our species.
It matters not how straight the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll.
