I'm sorry Richard but no matter the evidence or truth we present to hard-core religious people they are determined to see it their way. Will not sway them. They are way too brainwashed. They will not accept a y other way won't even open their mind a crack to consider maybe just maybe this is possible. Talking about this you have to have an open mind . This is the same scenario when u talk of extraterrestrials and ufos! Big surprise coming soon for that topic. Ever ask yourselves why the deep state has covered that issue up since the beginning? Haha that's another mind bender they will probably ignore also.

You have evidence or truth for what?
You are implying something but your comment is ambiguous, vague, and incoherent. We can only assume that you are denying the existence of God. Can you clear this up?
Science has long established that the universe came into existence around 14 billion years ago.
Medieval theologians formulated the
Kalam Cosmological argument sometime between 750 and 1258 CE.
The syllogism goes like this:
That which begins to exist has a cause,
the universe began to exist,
therefore, the universe was caused to exist.
It follows then that the cause for something to exist must presuppose the beginning of something's existence.
IOW, that which causes something to exist must have a purpose for causing something to exist.
Put simply, an example would be the automobile. Or the computer.
Therefore, that which has a purpose for causing something to exist must be intelligent.
Conversely, non-intelligence cannot conceive of a cause or a purpose.
So, with your "evidence and truth" about whatever, what is the purpose of our existence?
Where did this universe and life come from?
Why are we here?
What are the rules?
And, what is our destiny?
Whatever your evidence and truth may be, it first must be able to debunk the finely tuned universal constants that make life possible.
“Fine-tuning” refers to various features of the universe that are necessary conditions for the existence of complex life. Such features include the initial conditions and “brute facts” of the universe as a whole, the laws of nature or the numerical constants present in those laws (such as the gravitational force constant), and local features of habitable planets (such as a planet’s distance from its host star). The basic idea is that these features must fall within a very narrow range of possible values for chemical-based life to be possible.Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries That Reveal the Mind Behind the UniverseThe New York Times bestselling author of Darwin’s Doubt, Stephen Meyer,presents groundbreaking scientific evidence of the existence of God, based on breakthroughs in physics, cosmology, and biology.
Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts with traditional theistic belief—that science and belief in God are “at war.” Philosopher of science Stephen Meyer challenges this view by examining three scientific discoveries with decidedly theistic implications. Building on the case for the intelligent design of life that he developed in Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt, Meyer demonstrates how discoveries in cosmology and physics coupled with those in biology help to establish the identity of the designing intelligence behind life and the universe.
Meyer argues that theism—with its affirmation of a transcendent, intelligent and active creator—best explains the evidence we have concerning biological and cosmological origins. Previously Meyer refrained from attempting to answer questions about “who” might have designed life. Now he provides an evidence-based answer to perhaps the ultimate mystery of the universe. In so doing, he reveals a stunning conclusion: the data support not just the existence of an intelligent designer of some kind—but the existence of a personal God.
