you're mixing apples and typewriters!

try...please try to stay on topic here.

But yes, as long as you've asked, I believe that I was created just as I am, by an intelegent Being Who loves me (so much that He was willing to die that I might live forever with Him), knows everything about me (yet He still loves me!), cares for and about me and has a plan for my life. By your own logic, you sadly don't have any such hope.
By extrapolating your prespectives, at best, you're just a random mutation which arose from some pond scum, whose relatives resembled anything from slugs, to rats, to apes...created by nothing, for nothing, and with and for no purpose in life at all, and life has no meaning as you spin through space with no destination...and in the end...the worms. What a terrible notion...that life is so meaningless and that you arose out of nothing, for no purpose with the only thing to look forward are the worms. In this belief system is the claim that there is no moral law except the law of survival of the fittest, breeding moral relativism, for if there is a universal moral law, there must be a Law Giver, whom you deny.(But even I don't believe that of you)

Nothing personal, but...you asked.

I wish you His very best.
I've gotta grab some vittles.

Why is that the inevitable conclusion? Isn't it possible that God works through evolution? Surely God could set evolution in motion, couldn't he? He makes the rules, and the universe abides by them...

The two beliefs are not mutually exclusive - just because I don't believe that God is intimately involved in every single detail of my life, or the workings of the world, doesn't mean I don't believe in God at all, does it?

PMFJI, but since you think evolution => hopelessness, will you admit that a certain, um, self-serving emotional agenda colors your whole approach to this discussion?
