Why do some continue to play guessing games with science when God has all the answers?

Why is their fear of hell so great that it drives them to trade the Truth of God with the lie of evolution?

Science still points to God and gives testimony to His created work.

I might watch the vidoes later. For now, I'm not going to bother. I just want to say that if I were afraid of hell, saying I don't believe in it wouldn't be any kind of an answer to that problem. I would join any one of Christendom's many churches that teach salvation on faith alone, and go on about my life. Even when I was a Christian I didn't believe in that stuff. I took the Bible at its word that salvation is literally a matter of life or death, the unsaved will simply die and stay dead, and we must "continue to work out [our] salvation with fear and trembling" (Philippians 2:12 NIV).

If I may ask, what are you now if not a Christian? I'm a True Believer in Christ.

@GodSpeed63 I'm an agnostic atheist. There may be something greater than ourselves that could be called "god," but they either can't interact with us on our level or simply choose not to. What's important is this life, trying to be an agent of good and/or create the best life for oneself.

My God interacts with me very much. He also interacted with you on a number of occasions but you didn't recognize it. He loves you very much which is why He created you in His image and likeness; and why Christ came into the world to take your punishment for your sins when He went to the cross and rose again to defeat death once and for all so that you could have eternal life with Him in heaven. He hates man made religion just like and I do. God is more into restoring relationships than being worshiped through man made religious practices.

@GodSpeed63 There are literally thousands of different religious traditions still being followed, not counting a great many more that aren't still followed. The adherents of which sincerely believe they are in a relationship with god. Each one of these traditions subscribes to a unique view of god, one very different from yours. All based in part on anecdotal evidence of this god interacting with people. Either they're all wrong but one, or there is no god at all, or there are many gods, or god is a trickster who pretends to be many things they are not, or they either can't interact with us on our level or simply choose not to.

You clearly hail from the Mosaic tradition. I would recommend reading in Hebrew scripture where Moses laid down the law he received from his god. The same god who (according to Christian tradition) sent Yeshuah. This law of his is chock full of ritualistic practices, some rather barbaric.

Jesus said that we must be born again in order to see the kingdom of God. You had a physical birth, now you need a Spiritual birth in order to know the Truth. Read His Word and let Him tell you about Himself. After all, He wrote it.
