Not trying to prove it DICK! I'm presenting it as more reasonable. It is not reasonable to assume that God just leaves matters to chance. Good night! The Earth could be hit by an astroid! And you think it's reasonable to expectt such things to happen?!

Whether you are trying to prove it or present it as more reasonable is largely a question of semantics. Either way, you're favoring a bunk argument, challenging biology with something that five minutes' thought reveals is not a problem at all. Asteroid impacts have nothing to do with the argument at hand, but if that's how God wants to end life on earth, that's entirely His prerogative.

Seriously. Why on earth would a christian carry on as you do?

Because another Christian carries on as you do, apparently acting from equal parts fear, anger and pride, and giving Christianity a bad name in the process. You could call people names, jump to invalid conclusions and distort arguments on behalf of communism, vegetarianism, bimetallism or any other belief or opinion you care to name, and it would be none of my concern. I would leave you to be as rude as you liked except when the argument seemed like it could be turned to interesting ends. But the more you act that way in the name of God, the more you increase my responsibility, and that of every other Christian on this site, to work against you and present an example of calm, friendly, rational, patient, loving Christianity for contrast. Whether we actually succeed in the latter is another matter. Often we fail at it, I think. But we're no less bound to try. So please don't give me any of the usual "you are acting for Satan to drag me down to Hell" business.
