Free will means that God doesn't interfere with people choices that is why He is waiting also for people to be ready for the teachings.
Two things:
1- This flies in the face of the claims that it's possible --or even obvious-- to know that God exists because of such-and-such evidence.
2- This otherwise means that God wants me to make an uninformed decision --in which I am missing the most critical piece of data-- on a matter of eternal importance.
So God is either a doofus or a douchebag. It's not much of a choice, honestly.
"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."
