I love how there actually may be more descriptions of what hell is like than there are Christian denominations. The OT gives a pretty strong impression that death is an eternal sleep, and the NT talks about eternal torment in a lake of fire. Anything else that anyone comes up with is purely from their imagination, occasionally helped along by a few cherry-picked verses. Maybe it's time to start a topic where each Christian can explain exactly what hell is, so we can catalog the various different versions.
"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."
