You have created a false dichotomy. You have neglected to consider the possibility of a deity other than the one you worship existing. In such a scenario, a hypothetical deity could send you to a fate far worse than being "a pile of dist" in your coffin. You have also apparently set up a false dichotomy where you imply that all who accept the theory of evolution are atheists, which is also false.

If I consider the possibility of another deity, say Allah, existing I then cease to have complete faith in what I believe to be the true God (The Holy Trinity) If I had to think it over and worship both Allah and God then I simply would be worshiping a false god in addition to the true God. You see Faith in the true God, unlike the scientific method, requires that one does NOT consider other deitys (or other options). This is made clear in the First Commandment as it says: I am the Lord your God, and thou shalt have no other gods before me. Hence, if I consider these other deity's what's the point of my following the true God because if I have doubts that He might not be the true God then I really don't have true faith in Him. Since I deny all other gods and worship only the Triune God I do not worry about the if's, ands or buts of another god or what that suppossed god could do to me.



You said: "You have also apparently set up a false dichotomy where you imply that all who accept the theory of evolution are atheists, which is also false."

Untrue. I said those who choose to deny God will not be in His prescence, not those who subscribe to the theory of evolution as you claim I inferred. Granted it's not a big step for any person who denys God's power of creation to then deny the rest of His power. I am fully aware that one can subscribe to the theory of evolution and still have a full faith in God.

For your reading pleasure here is exactly what I typed:

"However, If I'm right in believing that God created the Universe and trusting in God for salvation, believing in His Word and truth then I feel confident that all those who do so will be blessed to be in His prescence for eternity meanwhile all those who deny God will not be in His prescence rather they will be in the lake of fire..."

God Bless you. Answer the door when Christ knocks to rule your heart.
