I was thinking, "what happens if I don't WANT to go to heaven?"I think it's pretty clear by now that Yahweh really doesn't give a rat's ass what we think about anything. He seems to enjoy being unpredictable. I can only imagine what it would be like the first time the announcement went around in heaven: "Tomorrow begins Reverse Week. All heavenly souls will be transported to hell, and vice-versa. Also, since god is timeless, Reverse Week will actually last seventeen million years. Have a pleasant afternoon... it's the last one you'll enjoy in a very long time."
"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."
