Nope, I would suggest that you Google search what a scientific theory is. Evolution is both a theory and a fact in the same way that gravity is both a theory and a fact.
Because the theory of evolution says nothing whatever about the existence of God one way or another, or about sin and our salvation in Christ. It contradicts no essential point of Christian doctrine.
The theory of evolution is a scientific theory as well. Don't allow the Kent Hovinds of the world screw up your science for you.No gravity is a theory, evolution is a catchall interpretative frame of reference. Interpreting what happen in terms of organisms changing.
You said it yourself, and you still don't get it.
A Christian does not have to prove the Theory of Evolution is false, it is False by the use it's own declaration, "I am a Theory of Evolution"
THEORY:
A proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural and subject to doubt, requiring more study.
Abstract knowledge or reasoning a speculative or conjectural view or idea.
A set of hypotheses related by logical arguments to explain ones beliefs.
IDIOMS:
In theory , ideally; hypothetically:
Word Origin:
1590s, "conception, mental scheme,"
from Late Latin theoria (Jerome),
from Greek theoria "contemplation, speculation, a looking at, things looked at,"
from theorein "to consider, speculate, look at,"
from theoros "spectator,"

I bet the cultists that died with Jim Jones felt that those not in their cult were fools, too.Psa. 14:1
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
There were no atheists in his cult that I know of.I bet the cultists that died with Jim Jones felt that those not in their cult were fools, too.

You said it correctly, "They were Cultists" which denotes a deviant belief.
But even with all of that, there wasn't ever any denial of God or Christ, as you espouse, therefore it does not apply to them as it does to you.
As opposed to a normal belief?
You're defending the honor of those who drank the Kool-Aid... just sayin'
There is no heaven or hell. All you need do is live an honorable life. There, now you've been informed.Do you feel as though you are merely a plaything molded from the dust?
God has said there are two places Heaven and Hell He has not forced you to believe in Him or them, He merely is giving you the information to make a logical well informed decision, it's exactly the same as God saying to Adam, "Don't eat from that tree, or you will die" was that a threat, or a warning?
God is informing all of mankind, (Including You) there are ramifications for your choices (Decisions).
It's totally your choice, He is not forcing you to chose one or the other, you are now expressing your opinion on the matter, there isn't and has not been any coercion from Him to force you to Believe, whereas He (God) is warning you, there are things in the future of every human which will depend on the decisions (Beliefs) they express today.
So, you have now been informed, there is a place called Hell, just as assuredly as there was a Tree in the Garden which caused death, God is not going to send you there, that is a decision you alone make.
Does that include dying an honorable death?All you need do is live an honorable life.
They should have though.Correct, they were all biblebelievin' Christians, fulfilling their prophecy. Unfortunately, they'll never know how wrong they really were.
They all died martyrs... True Christians.They should have though.
They should have known that there are no more prophets after AD 96.
They should have known:
Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
But alas ... the tares! the tares!
Yeah, sort of like an Atheist declaring he believes in God, that would be deviant behavior to you wouldn't it?
They really didn't have a choice in the matter, your making it sound as though they said, lets all drink Kool-Aid and kill ourselves for some religious purpose, when that wasn't the case at all, they were forced to drink it or they would have been shot.
There is no heaven or hell. All you need do is live an honorable life. There, now you've been informed.
You can thank me later.
You can't choose your beliefs.You have made the point, you have chosen, not forced.
Not me, I plan to be cremated. But, now that you know the truth, kinda' makes what time you have left infinitely precious, don't you think?Then after you die you just get eaten by the worms?
Living honorably is it's own reward, and that's "profit" enough. However, if your religion is the only thing keeping you hinged, please keep believing in god.Then what is the point in living an honorable life, what does it profit, might as well be an SOB if we all get eaten by the worms, and that's it, over and out.
This is what religion teaches you; you're a miserable loathsome person living a meaningless existence with no hope unless you believe certain things about a god.What a meaningless existence.
You have made the point, you have chosen, not forced.
Then after you die you just get eaten by the worms?
