Well, yes, it does make us happy, even in this life, and eternally in the next. Thus, as Paschal said, even if we are wrong, and you Atheists right, we Christians lose nothing. We had happily married lives, which often made us far happier than those living in the prostitution that is fornication. We had children, and we loved them, while many Atheists, not believing any longer in God or in sin, aborted and killed their children, and thus had no one to take care of them in their old age. Even in this life, we lost nothing. But then Eternity begins, with Eternal Pleasure, or Eternal Pain, Eternal Happiness, or Eternal Misery etc.
Ok, do tell us, then, what exactly is Evolution and what does it claim: Evolutionists always claim we don't really understand their Theory, because when we state it for what it frankly is, it seems frankly absurd and ridiculous. That's because Macro-Evolution is indeed frankly absurd and ridiculous. Not Micro-Evolution, which every Creation Scientist and ID Theorist including Dr. Craig acknowledges to have taken place. And others like Dr. Denton etc, who are highly critical of Evolution. As his book "Evolution: Still a Theory in Crisis" shows.
So, define Evolution for us in one or two sentences, especially as it pertains to Apes and Men.
Finally, the Kalam stands unrefuted. We need some clear counter-examples that something really come from nothing because of nothing before we can dump Premise 1 of the Kalam. The Universe's finite age shows it had a beginning. Those 2 premises alone, by themselves, are sufficient to reach the conclusion that the Universe is a Creature, i.e. that it had a Creator. And the rest logically follows, this Creator is Eternal, because it precedes time, is Omnipresent, because it precedes the creation of spatial locations etc, and it is indeed known that all of space-time had a Big Bang Beginning. As someone pointed out, Fr. Georges Lemaitre was indeed the first proponent of the Big Bang Theory - but today that Christian Theory has widespread acceptance in the Scientific Community. Tough for Atheists, maybe, but this is Science in Action enlightening humankind back on the ancient Way toward God.
Grace be with you all.
