According to Richard Dawkins the answers is no.

When Dr. Richard Dawkins was asked :

What are your thoughts about the despair some people feel when they ponder natural selection and random mutation? The idea of evolution and natural selection makes some people feel that everything is meaningless—people’s individual lives and life in general.

He answered:

If it’s true that it causes people to feel despair, that’s tough. It’s still the truth. The universe doesn’t owe us condolence or consolation; it doesn’t owe us a nice warm feeling inside. If it’s true, it’s true, and you’d better live with it.

And in response to a question about the “after-life” and death—Dawkins responded:

I would say, “Don’t imagine for one second you’re going to paradise . . . . You’re going to rot in the ground.”

What a wonderful uplifting message for readers—you are just going to rot in the ground! Of course, if people took Dawkins’s message seriously —that there is no purpose and meaning in life, and when you die, that’s it; you won’t even know you ever existed—then what is the point of living? Why not end it now and get it over and done with?

This is a follow up to the question "What would you do if some one ask you to deny al that you believe, live or die?" I was not totally surprised by the answers. I got what I expected. So to follow this up "Why do you love, or care. why do you have any empathy at all for others? The reason I ask is that based on the answers, it all has to do with survival. Which is what is expected by anyone that believes in evolution. After all survival is what it is all about. The why do you love or care? After all that in no way increases your ability to survive. In fact if others die then that increases your ability to survive. Why do you love your wife? Why would you be monogamous? The more females you breed with the greater the chance to increase your off spring and genetic lineage. Why become a doctor, no need to save the sick or dieing it does not increase your ability to survive.

The point is that with out God there is no love, no caring no empathy. None of these can be found in a world of evolution. We are made in his image with the ability to love to care for others as He cares for us. or ability to love and care,our ability to remain in a monogamous relationship is all do to God's law and love being written on to our hearts. It has nothing to do with nor can have nothing to do with evolution.

Someone puts a gun to your head and says " Deny all you believe or die?" What do you do?

1-- Live

2-- Die
