I love to take Creationism Class for an easy A.
1. Everything was created 6000 years ago
2. God created everything, the "God of Gaps"
3. No explanation what so ever, all final answer is "Faith"

You are not making any point by replying to a argument like this.
I could ask you the same, how do you know that someone knows?
The problem with your question is that there is no answer, and this is precisely why you ask it.
What I meant is that there is no clear consensus on the nature of God, including if it really exist. It's impossible to prove that God exist OR that it doesn't exist. The only way to prove the existance of God is if it reveal itself in a way that can be mesured scientificaly instead of playing hide n seek on a cosmic scale.
Anyway I'm done here I don't really like getting in big arguments.

Questions? I bet that for 98% of those, you'll find answer HERE

The proof of function in gravity could consider simple once is answered after a life time of research with passage of time. We simply know it exists yet it's still a gap in human knowledge of "how". Not so long ago people begged the question of why there is a night and a day, was it really Hemera and Nyx? The simple answer to that question only created more questions like to the ones you are asking. If people just settle for "god of gaps" to every unexplained (yet) than we will never have a better tomorrow, instead we burn witches.

You are asking a question which you already decided how it should be answered, so what's the point of answering a question that you know can't be answered (Yet), just to strengthening your own conviction?
Questions should always be asked if you are honestly seeking the true answer, but sometimes the truth could take generations to answer. For now fill in the Gaps with God if it comforts you, please respect the fact that "God of Gaps" is just not enough to answer the unknown for other people.

Just like most predators today don't cannibalize their own species or eat their young, why? survival as a whole.
"right or wrong" is a human concept which we invented to keep order to ensure survival of our own species. A method to avoid destructive cause and effect chain reactions that would eventually lead to extinction. We acquired the concept of "right and wrong" through experiences of humanity as a species, and for some, enforced it with "God".
By using their brain? The human brain uses i.e defense mechanisms like regression "to cope with reality and to maintain self-image." (coping with what is right/wrong). You should read some more about the psychoanalytic theory, it's a very interesting topic and covers this exact topic that we're talking about (human brain and ethnics and stuff like that).
I don't think you understand what the human brain is made of, if you think of ethnics and morals as a separate entity that we humans hold.. The human brain is basically just a bunch of nerves and stuff that send electric impulses to other nerves and stuff that sends other electric impulses to other nerves and stuff and so on and so on.. Sort of like a CPU, just bigger and organic.
I've already answered your question by implying opinions aren't evidence. Therefore my Opinion is Irrelevant.
Evidence in its broadest sense includes everything that is used to determine or demonstrate the truth of an assertion. Giving or procuring evidence is the process of using those things that are either (a) presumed to be true, or (b) were themselves proven via evidence, to demonstrate an assertion's truth. Evidence is the currency by which one fulfills the burden of proof.
Many issues surround evidence, making it the subject of much discussion and disagreement. In addition to its subtlety, evidence plays an important role in many academic disciplines, including science and law, adding to the discourse surrounding it.
An important distinction in the field of evidence is that some circumstantial evidence and direct evidence, or evidence that suggests truth as opposed to evidence that directly proves truth. Many have seen this line to be less-than-clear and significant arguments have arisen over the difference.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence
Thats basically saying that people learn what is right/wrong from their experiences(defense mechanisms). However, in the end, you find yourself with moral values that differ from person to person. Lets say that "someone copes with reality" by murder. Is this right? They believe its right...

You can't "prove" gravity, its a law. It was observed and that is the name we gave.
"Moral standard" is set by the general consensuses of the public, which is driven by human experiences acquired through passage of time. The standard is set to ensure survival of the human spices as a whole, our basic primal instincts of survival is at the root of our "moral standard".
In your above example of Murdering, if it's a common accepted behavior, you will create chaos among our species. After a series of negative chain reactions, humans will eventually become extinct.
Religion is often used as an "enforcer" based on consequential positive and negative reinforcement (i.e. Heaven & Hell), nothing more.
