"Uhh, nothing."

So you hope. :)

"The only thing He's interested in is whether someone accepted Christ or didn't. God isn't interested in your scientific knowledge where your eternity is concerned."

Is He interested in why someone believed in Christ? What if it was just because they were told to, without any thought or consideration as to the reasons to believe? Why would God punish us for using our minds?

A person can't be 'told' to have faith. You can try it, but forced or coerced faith is no faith at all. You can never be made to have faith by someone else. As to its reasons, they aren't as important as the fact of actually having that faith.

God does not punish us just for using our minds. If he didn't want us to have one, we wouldn't have it. But using same said mind to come to a conclusion that He's just a fairy tale isn't going to fly come judgment day. That's a gross misuse of what you were given, and He's not going to reward anyone for that.
