Christoper Hinchens, Stephen Hawking et. al. make a considered, thoughtful case for the evolutionary process. Why is it necessary in order to demonstrate one's own faith to invalidate someone else's beliefs? If one is secure in what they believe, they are not threatened to the point of inflammatory rhetoric in defense of their own faith/beliefs.

I don't doubt these men have made a long considered and thoughtful case for the evolutionary process. If it were not so, then it would have easily dwindled away.

It is necessary for you, if you claim to be a christian or a follower of Christ, to know that evolution describing the earth evolved from primoridal soup from a possible big bang in which life originated and then eventually let into smaller bacteria and into dinosaurs, monkeys, and eventually into humans in contradictory to the faith you would claim in Jesus as your Savior. Jesus could not have died to defeat death for you if yours sins were not the cause for death. If the fall of man did not let death enter the world, then the rest of the bible is pointless. Therefore, under close examination, you contradict your own faith by saying death was in the world millions of years before the first humans.

NO, if one is secure in their faith, then according to the words of Christ, we are to share that faith with the world and make disciples of all nations. And how are we to show that faith unless we can back it up with historical reliability. Why share what we believe to be true unless we can examine it closely to prove it above all other beliefs?

Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
