Eugenics is a part of the theory of evolution in the same way that the Spanish inquisition is part of Jesus's teachings....ie, not part of it at all. What someone does with the truth does not change it from being the truth.
(Romans 11:21-24)
Perhaps, but if God is not relying on chance then he is purposely making people to fuel the lake of fire.
He knows exactly what level of evidence will convince each person of His existence and the need to follow Christ, but He doesn't produce that evidence for those people when He could easily do so.
The Bible says that God wants all to come to Him and it also states that most will not.
If God is not allowing chance to work in this most crucial of decisions then He must want people to burn in Hell despite what the Bible says are His desires.
God gives freewill, but He indeed knows the outcome.
The decisions we make are being observed by the "heavenly host", and in effect, God is justifying Himself in their eyes by showing them how deranged we are and how merciful He is.
The important thing for us is to make the right decision. Just because God knows what it will be does not make Him evil.
How is it a test of the faith of a Muslim to allow him to continue believing in Islam? Testing of faith only occurs after a conversion.
A muslum continues to believe in a false man-made religion. It is his responsibility to see the errors and illogic in that world-view (same applied to evolution) and then have the faith to make a personal change.
When we were all children, we all believed things that were false at one time or another. It's our responsibility to change toward truth.
If we are not exposed to truth, God may judge us according to our conscience (this is debatable). This is why a judgement is necessary, because a myriad of conditions exists that put each person into diverse situations.
If we all had equal access and exposure to the same information, there would be no need for judgement. The separation of goats from sheep would be a pretty black and white operation.
But God is fair and just and merciful, and if we really desire truth, we will find it. The problem with most people is that they say they desire truth, but inwardly, they really don't.
On second thought, you're right! God doesn't take chances with our souls, their eternal destiny is decided when He forms them at our conception.
Their eternal destiny is not decided. It is known by God. The person makes the decision. There is a big difference.
