Interesting. This is a common form of argument against evolution, though it rests on several fallacies that have doubtless been pointed out to you before, and will be pointed out to you again.
I am intrigued however. What if you had a crisis and lost your faith.

As to my children -the answer in general is that wrong actions are always wrong -regardless the actions each and every human being created in God's image merits dignity and respect.
