The false Christian do not know that they are false Christians, or if they do know, if they find out, then they either aim to become true Christians, or just stay warm and fuzzy with all the others as they are, not realizing they are doomed. Multitudes do not find out until Judgment Day, when the Judge tells them you are cast out, I never knew you - you did not obey Me, you only pretended, for show....What if you're proselytizing fake Christianity? Would you even know?
How many honest alcoholic gamblers compulsive thieves do you think there are anywhere ?What if you're a false Christian? Would you even know?
You perhaps forget.. God cast us into this world to reap what we sow, the fruit of self interest... or not if we reject the concept and ally with the Kingdom. But death was the result of our will over God's.Is this really the philosophy you guys want to convey? You're not exactly making Christianity look appealing.
Oh, the irony...!How many honest alcoholic gamblers compulsive thieves do you think there are anywhere ?
In other words, test everything - do not accept anyone as a true Christian until they pass the tests for a true Christian as written in Scripture . (By their lives , deeds, and actions , and their own words). This is as it is to be done as written in Scripture.
Perhaps your own objections to 'Christianity' are all objections to what you saw and realized was hypocritical (fake) Christianity ? This is most common, or very common.
Man will not evolve, man is an evolutionary dead end, and the sooner he dies out, the better.If you believe in macroevolution, what do you think man will evolve into next?
Too well spread over the planet and too adaptable to go extinct particularly quicklyMan will not evolve, man is an evolutionary dead end, and the sooner he dies out, the better.
There are certainly some fantastic elements to the narrative, but it does offer a plausible speculation regarding the effects of future technology.I like Dougal Dixon's books, if just for the artwork.
But Man After Man always struck me as more science fiction than speculative evolution.

Nah, worst case scenario that's even remotely plausible is we blow ourselves back into a new radioactive dark age.

We'd be up and running with billions within a couple of thousand years.
Dire, yes. Extinction for humanity, no.According to whom? While I admit I have not kept up on the subject it appears those who have think it would be quite dire.
Nuclear winter - Wikipedia
Dire, yes. Extinction for humanity, no.
In ten thousand years we have gone from "Piles of rocks and dogs are pretty cool" to "fly me to the moon". Even with a massive die back of worst case nuclear winter, we wouldn't all die and we wouldn't lose all our knowledge and technology.
Once the weather cleared up we'd expand extremely rapidly.
It is, of course, debatable whether or not nuclear winter could cause human extinction. There is essentially no way to truly “know” without fighting a strategic nuclear war. Yet while it is crucial that we all understand the mortal peril that we face, it is not necessary to engage in an unwinnable academic debate as to whether any humans will survive.
It wasn't my intent to imply that human extinction due to nuclear war was impossible, just that it seemed very unlikely due to even extreme examples of nuclear winter by no means being a guarantee of wiping us out.It is a possibility. Unless you have some knowledge of nuclear winter you are not sharing?
Nuclear War, Nuclear Winter, and Human Extinction

Human (or any other animal) evolution can never be finished. Mutation will never stop and natural selection will always favour some humans over others.The evolution of humans is largely finished. The races will continue to intermix and blend into one race. I would imagine that the 3rd molar problem will eventually work itself out.
Humans have various tech fixes that currently enable pretty much everyone to achieve reproductive success.If you believe in macroevolution, what do you think man will evolve into next?
