Or you can worship god and serve yourself. Or worship yourself and serve others selflessly because that is how you believe you can better yourself. Or you can worship no one and experience love anyway, since we are capable of such. And so on. Why did you try to reduce it to only two options? That seems so... self serving.
"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."
