Theists: What is your stance on evolution?

Every time I have ever asked a religious person for an explanation or answer, to a valid question, I get references to the Bible and Jesus. I asked someone recently "How will you know when Jesus has come back? Wouldn't he just get attacked AGAIN for being 'perfect'? Why would anyone listen to him now, if they didn't listen before?" She said "We will know it's him because he will come floating down from the Heavens just the same way he went up."

That still doesn't answer the question about how he is going to get anyone to listen to him. I have heard over and over how he is going to "bring peace". How is he going to do that without getting gunned down or killed? If "Humanity" didn't listen to him the first time, why would they listen to him when he 'comes back'? They wouldn't. It is a violent, hateful world and if Jesus DID come back with only his great personality, it is a guarantee that he would get killed just for 'claiming' to be the 'son of God'. Without "powers", he will be viewed as just a blasphemer and get his ass kicked. The likely answer I will get is that, this time, he will have "Powers" from Daddy (God) and he will simply judge the living and the dead and 'take over'. Great! Why didn't he use those "powers" the first time? Instead of getting 'sacrificed' and getting his ass beaten? Why would God send his powerless 'son' to earth to make a point, in the first place, without giving him the powers to 'prove' who he is? It's never made sense to me.

If *I* were God and I sent my 'son' (or daughter...the Bible is a bit sexist) to humanity to 'save' them, my kid would come loaded with superpowers that would A-make sure they are SAFE and B-give them the VERY AMAZING and "child of God"-worthy *power* to take over and set shit straight with people. No child of this God would be getting humiliated or sacrificed. Not a chance.

Doesn't make sense...
