what would you do there?
If it's the classic fire-and-brimstone version where you burn but never die, I suppose I'd spend all my time screaming "I'M BURNING AHHHHH" over and over for eternity. Tedious, yet not exactly boring.
If it's the more modern "hell is a separation from god" version, then I guess I'd go about my afterlife the way I go about life now, since I'm already separated from god. Since I was already dead, I'd go on crazy adventures armed only with a sword and my wits, and hopefully have some penthouse pet as a sidekick-slash-love-interest. Unless you can't get it up in the afterlife, in which case I'd just have a talking raccoon follow me around as comedy relief.
"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."
