But Christianity and the teachings of Jesus Christ are very much worthwhile following

Something lies at the origin of Creation. What? is the sixty-four dollar question.

We will never know the origin of Creation but there is a question we can answer and has been answered: Can we justify a belief in God? And the answer has been shown to be NO.

Individual – if evolution is true, then there can be no such thing as “flaws in human nature”. Things just happen to evolve the way that they do and there is no right or wrong way that they are meant to be – they just are.

If a person accepts evolution then logically they have to reject belief in objective morality and ultimate meaning.

evolution is basically the fairytale for those who deny the obvious.

runner,
On the contrary, the hypocrisy of religion is rather obvious wouldn't you say ? Faith has absolutely zero to do with what religion dictates to us. I have no problem with faith but I simply cannot accept religion.

Good point. If evolution is the highest authority, then there are no human flaws, no reason for morality. Things just are.

To Individual

I've said this before (though probably not to you), and I'll probably say it again. God is real, and if I can find Him, then so can you.

As for evolution being God. Not even close.

Regarding religion and faith, I'm glad you recognize there's flaws in humanity that religion addresses. (Sometimes addresses anyways). If I can ask though, what do you mean when you say you have no problem with faith, but have an issue with religion? Do you have spiritual beliefs outside of believing in God, and just have an issue with those that have faith in God? Or is this just that you reject the leaders religious, or reject that books written in a religion can't be true. (Such as the bible, the writings of Confusous, or the musings written from religious leaders and thinkers).

When it comes to religion and faith there is an overlap. Many people have their faith through their religion. If they have faith and are religious as well, do you reject their faith? Regardless of religion, God is real. He's worth searching for and finding.

We all have faith in all manner of things, some of which are real and some, like God, which are imaginary. We also have hope about a lot similar things. Some people hope that when they die they will go to heaven. Most Christian burials services seem to use the expression "sure and certain hope", that is an oxymoron if ever I have heard one.
