^^^^^^ "In the beginning God created...." I really have no idea how, but it is really sporting to speculate.
....and the earth was formless and void. Or the Hebrew translation of this goes something like "....the earth was chaos, and empty..". This was in the beginning. This could have been millions or billions of years before God created life. I'm not saying that I necessarily believe this, but it is possible to hold this view, and still believe that God is the Creator, and cares about us.

I'd Rather Live a life Good in God's Eyes and die and be Wrong
Than Not believe and die ,Then find out I was wrong. Ahhhh, I was waiting for that to pop up! Good old Pascal's wager. A very old religious ploy. Nice try.

Evolution does not exclude God. Both are compatible with each other. I've never understood why you would think that a belief in God would exclude evolution and a belief in evolution excludes God. There are examples all around you to prove both!

If you continue reading you will realize this idea won’t work. Read the entire chapter of Genesis 1. It clearly shows that Gideon created the world, and everything in it in 6 days.

Nice try nothing.If we believe and are wrong we all rot in the ground.But if those that believe are right then the others will not be rotting in the ground.As far as I'm concerned I have nothing to loose.The other person has everything to loose.Your choice.

I believe in creation but does that discount evolution? I think things evolve to promote their existence. Humans are ever evolving, why wouldn’t everything else? The correct term would be progressing.

If you continue reading you will realize this idea won’t work. Read the entire chapter of Genesis 1. It clearly shows that Gideon created the world, and everything in it in 6 days. Read the first couple of verses of Genesis again, slowly, and without any preconceived bias. There could have been a whole lot of time between the "beginnig", a period of chaos, before day one.
