Re constant battle between good and evil in the world

Inspecteur Clouseau, it is a mistake to try to defend religious belief with logical arguments. It always fails. Invariably.

I do believe that there is a constant battle between good and evil in the world. I believe that because God is good, there will always be more good people in the world, than there are evil people in the world.

There are several logical fallacies at work here, quite a few unfounded assumptions, and no apparent connection between them. So you believe there is "a constant battle betwen good and evil" because there must be more good than evil people in the world? This is like saying there must be a battle between the colors white and black because there must be more black than white in the world.

Have you ever asked yourself why America has been so spectacularly successful is such a short period of time?

I suspect you would answer this as "Because God loves us" or something. I would go into an analysis of how America nurtured free competition, open-mindedness, and scientific exploration, going all the way back to a gene pool of the more daring and adventurous Europeans settling in an unknown continent.
