Would that be a bad thing? If god had to choose your future with nothing to go on but his own desire, do you think he would assign you to hell? If yes, he sounds terrifying. If not, then we risk hell by being given the chance to screw up the perfect future. If god is the greatest being in all of the universe, a kind and loving father of unequaled intellect and generosity, then I think I'd much rather he decide my fate before I get a chance to stumble into eternal torment.
"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."
