If the wisest thing a man can do is obey god's word, then you can replace the word "love" in Matthew 22:37 with "obey" and I don't think that any Christian would find issue with it. For verse 39 I think you can insert the word "treat" and I think it also works.
"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."
