God isn't offering me anything, whether I can read your post or not. I don't want anything from god, he sounds like a pretty nasty customer. I don't want to receive his son, either, since he says that if I ogle an attractive woman I am hell-bound even if I do not act on the thoughts that ensue. If they were to exist, they would not be the sort of people I would want to "receive." I'd just as soon return them, if you don't mind.
"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."
