You're side may be correct. Our side my be right. BUT If our side is correct, I sure wouldn't want to be in your place at the last roundup!

Amen brother!

Well said and another reason for non-believers to reconsider - what will they really lose if they live as if God does exist? On the other hand . . .

God Bless

What happens if there is a God, but this God isn't the one that you worship and this God takes a far less pleasant view of followers of wrong Gods than those who worship none at all? Pascal's Wager is a false dilemma and a logical fallacy.

And why are you even asking about non-believers anyway? This is a discussion about evolution. Evolution is not atheism. Only the truly dishonest try to claim as much.

Although you are probably aware of this, what you are dsicussing was postluated quite thoroughly several hundred years ago and is known as Pascal's Wager.
