It's a simple choice:

What does "making the choice to love everything good that exists" entail? Just saying it? How do we demonstrate it? Are there certain actions that we can take? What form do the "Proofs of God" take, that we might recognize them when they come to us?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
