Evolution is a religion or belief system. It takes faith to believe in that just as it takes faith to believe in God.
Faith is believing something without evidence, there is a ton of evidence for evolution and none for God.
Upon our deaths, the issue will be resolved for each of us.
If God doesn't exist, and I believe and have made my life better because of that belief, I still win.
If you deny God and He does exist as He says, you will have eternity to contemplate your pride and ignorance.
Pascal's wager is proof that religious dogma can cloud even great minds. It assumes that there is only one possible God, and it happens to be the one you believe in. But as there is no evidence of any God, much less a specific one, you could be in just as much trouble as an atheist. If you believe Jesus is Lord but it's Allah, you are going to burn. Mormon's burn if Joseph Smith was wrong. Muslim's burn if Mohammad was wrong. Etc... But what if God hates people who believe stuff without reason? Well then, I'm just fine, but you are going to suffer. Or maybe God's not an egomaniacal douche. Then everybody's fine.
