This statement appears to answer itself. Jesus was nailed to the cross to take on the sins of the world. Or are you saying that you don't know what that means, or what it will result in?
The ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ is a pretty big deal to Christians. How can you worship him without knowing what it meant?
"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."
