As much as you disagree or believe in the contrary, humor me and let's say that this is the case. If that be so and there is a hope for eternal life by placing your faith in Christ, would you accept that and receive Him? Or, would you defiantly reject this offer?I'd accept his offer and readily wait for the day when he sends me and my Christian brothers into battle with orders to rape and pillage and burn!!! I'd get up early just to be at the front of the line where you get to massacre a family except for the virgin girls, which we'd take as wives. I want to watch the fields burn, and hear the screeches of the livestock as we put them down, and hear the pitiful pleas of the elderly and nursing mothers as I level my sword, ready to end their miserable existence and send them screaming to their fiery torment. HELL YEAH!!!
Or is this not the same god you were thinking of?
"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."
