Hi there,
This is I think the crux of the problem. Is the truth reason to care? If you can prove that, you can prove that the Biblical account is correct and that Evolution is false. I have returned to debating in the Sciences section and the consensus seems to be that caring happens automatically, irrespective of the truth, which is not the truth. From there it's a quick switch to self-importance and sin is open slather because no one can live up to a perfect standard (except the Jesus they deny).
So if you can prove that the truth is a reason to care, you are home and hosed.
And the truth is, no one cares for truth, any more than reason is logical about itself.
You care for people in the truth, but as far as the world is concerned anyone who needs caring for is already as much "in" something as they are ever going to be and for all that they still don't care. This of course brings into question the nature of love, but I will wait to see how you reply and what you say.
