Christians, why are you hear (If you want to convert atheists read this)

RE: Christians, why are you hear (If you want to convert atheists read this)
Leviticus 19:18 has a quote similar to the golden rule. As part of a set of commands that govern behavior towards others, the Israelites are told to "love your neighbor as [you love] yourself."
"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."

-Stephen Jay Gould
