[Between the Simpsons, Family Guy, Kitzmiller, the Dover elections, Ohio, Hurst v Newman, George Will, the Vatican's scientists, and the impending butt-kicking at the Kansas polls it must really suck to be a creationist right now.]
Not as much as it is going to "sucK" to be thrown into the lake of fire. You always have to look at the alternative.

"Not as much as it is going to "sucK" to be thrown into the lake of fire. You always have to look at the alternative."
You proceed from an incorrect premise. You say it "is" going to "sucK" to be thrown into the lake of fire. However, the lake of fire is just part of your ancient, silly fairy tale. What really "sucKs" is that you think the mythology of ancient, desert bumpkins is true.

Translation: If you believe in evolution instead of Jesus, you're going to HELL!
So to sum up, reality and JohnR7's fantasy have been shown to be at odds. Now what does John do--investigate the evidence? Change his beliefs? Ha ha ha! John's faith is far too strong for those options. No, the best thing to do is to threaten others with torture for being so evil as to side with reality instead of John's fantasy. A few eons of agony will teach you the price of skepticism! Not that you'll have a chance to apply that lesson, since you'll be in Hell forever.
When those people die, heaven and hell are real and Jesus is going to judge them, he will smack them across the face with the book of life for being ignorant assholes who believe in a book which contained so many errors that it has no credibility at all while claiming moral highground over people who actually try and learn something.
JohnR7, meet Reality. Reality, I'd like you to meet... where the fuck did he go? John? Johnny? Why do you always run and hide when Reality shows up? It's not going to hurt you. It wants to be your friend.
You claim to be an observant of Biblical principles. Matthew 7:1: let God judge the fate of others, only he can see their hearts. If only you really understood that they have no reason to fear your hellfire threats, whatsoever.
“You always have to look at the alternative”
So, your idea is that god’s going to let me go through life believing that all the evidence supports the ToE, and then demand that for no reason other than peer pressure, i should accept this fairy tale as the REAL story. Not because it’s compelling, or the science is lacking, but just because if i DON’T accept the fairy tale, i’ll be tortured for ALL OF ETERNITY. Fear. I should evaluate science the way you do out of fear.
If a god’s using extortion to force believers, i’d rather not be in his Heaven.
Confused?
