There is the obvious scenario: person A wrongs person B, then seeks forgiveness from god through Christ, but does not seek person B's forgiveness.
Has person A been forgiven by god?
- If YES, then person B is shit out of luck, and might actually be in the wrong for not forgiving someone that god forgave.
- If NO, then person A needs person B's forgiveness, in which case... what did he need god for?

"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."
