You claimed that god is justified in punishing everyone for the original sin because if any other person had been there, he would have sinned as well. This points to more than just an issue of free will or bad decision-making. If any human put in that position was guaranteed to fail... per your claim... then they were either designed to fail, or they were presented with a scenario that god knew they could not resist. So... is he a bumbler, or a malicious bastard?God created free will beings.
The fall of man is the consequence of free will.
But remember God triumphs over all that.
Still did not address the question. You can post a massive wall of text because "omg the stars are so pretty" requires several thousand words to elaborate properly. But you aren't even pretending to try to address the question I asked. I think I know the answer you want to give, and will probably have to be content with that.
"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."
