To many of those denominations, the fact that you claim to be a Christian is insufficient to save you from hell. Which means that even if you pretend to narrow it down to Christianity, you still stand a pretty good chance of being just as screwed as the atheist, or the animist, or the muslim, or anyone else.
the other religions can't even come close to addressing the spiritual needs of an individual and even on the basis of rational thought.
no other religion can do this but Christianity ; and at the same time further the progression of culture and civilization.
"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."
