If we take into account the electric/nervous behaviour of evolution we find that change is occurring all the time.

If a heathen becomes a Christian there is significant change. If a lady of good repute becomes a harlot there is significant change and their futures can be seen to evolve in an almost predictable way.

Their off-spring will also be changed via this mechanism and this, in turn, impacts upon our genetics.

Almighty God and his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, know all this and guide us to a new genetic change...one that takes into account all electric/nervous laws, all stem-cell mechanics, all levels of poverty and unfairness, all vicious and spiteful behaviour inflicted upon us, all oppression that we are subjected to.

It cannot fail because it harbours the science of resurrection and through this science a new order of loving, caring, repairing, protecting and goodwill can be fostered for those who are written into Almighty God's inheritance...the criteria being...righteousness and its meekness.

You don't want it...that is fine...but the alternative doesn't sound great.

"If a heathen becomes a Christian there is significant change."

I'll give him that much, but it says nothing about whether the beliefs underlying it are actually true anyway. I can easily change a child's behavior by convincing him that there is a monster under his bed that will eat him if he doesn't eat his all of his vegetables every night. In many cases that change has nothing to do with someone becoming more "moral," to use an oft abused word. Here's an example ....

My best friend (call him Jim) of about ten years ago worked with another mutual friend (call him Tom) at a trucking facility as a mechanic. The shop was changing locations and buying updated equipment. Some of the old equipment, in this case a parts washing station, was offered to employees if they wanted it. Tom wanted the cleaning station but it had already been given to my best friend Jim. Tom became upset when he learned this, no doubt he felt he deserved it more than Jim who had actually gotten Tom his job to begin with. Tom had recently been "converted" and had gone from being a pretty easy going guy to an arrogant asshat because he knew he had The Truth and everyone else in the shop were lowly heathens. Tom would frequently engage in lying when challenged on his assertions, among other dubious behaviors. It was sad really. Anyway, Jim and I go down to the shop on the weekend to pick up the parts washer and there's Tom disassembling it in order to take it home for himself. We pull up and Jim asks him what the hell he is doing and Tom begins to sputter about how he came down to "help" Jim by getting it ready for him. Tom had no idea we were coming for it. He shuffles about for a minute or so then hops in his car and leaves when we weren't looking. Yeah, Tom had some significant change alright. He became a self entitled, lying, thieving asshat. Yeah, yeah, I know. Tom wasn't a "True Christian".

Edit: It wouldn't surprise me to see Tom one day on tv pitching for Jesus and the almighty dollar. Think ~ VenomFangX who is currently in some theo-school somewhere. That kid is gonna be a cult leader one day. Mark my words.

Even this - as pointed out by Vic Reeves (r) on an edition of "QI" - is more grammatically understandable:

My girlfriend's cat could eat a tin of alphabetti spaghetti and shit out a better - certainly infinitely more credible, nay, more edible - argument, that what your word salad claims to be, Nicole Arse.

And as for the man on the left, Clive Anderson - as a former QC & criminal law barrister - could argue your God out of existence, never mind have your (or at least have such made a laughingstock a la Michael Behe in Kitzmiller vs. Dover) BS thrown out of court.
