No, just because they couldn' understand it, it MUST mean that God exists.

just because they think they do understand it, it MUST mean that God doesn't exist.

Yes, I think I do have an understanding of evolution, or at least a much better understanding of it than jer133, and I never once said that evolution disproves God.

Wasn't reffering to you, or evolution specifically with that piece.

So, if you don't give God your love, then you shall be forced to live an eternity of suffering? How is this any different than a "need"? If he doesn't need you to love him, why would you be threatened with eternal damnnation for not doing as your told? Why does he need to strike fear into you to get what he "wants"?

Hey, my parents told me that if I don't listen to them and eat my veggies I won't grow up healthy, and if I keep playing with matches, I'll get burned, and if I don't look both ways when crossing the street, I'll get hit by a car, and if I accept candy from strangers, I could get kidnapped. Why are they threatening me in order to get what they want!?!

Grow up.

(1) Oh, then you were just being a smartass? 
(2) You parents did not have the ability to make it so that eating candy all day made you grow up big and strong, and that you were fireproof, and that jumping in front of a bus won't leave you as a stain on the pavement.  It's not a threat, it's a warning.  But God's warning is warning you about a threat he can presumably put an end to, but for some reason chooses not to. 

In short, he's asking "Why would God make it so that I'll go to Hell if I don't follow His rules?" and you reply, "Why are there rules?"  EXACTLY.
