Dear SS( Sincere Seeker):
Most of us dreamed about flying like angels or Peter Pan when we were young, right?
That is why I said if evolution work, we humans should have grown wings by now because most of us all have dreamed about flying since our childhood. Besides, throughout human history, It is a common wish, Isn't it? So our mind and "natural selection" should have worked to push our bodies to grow wings, right? At least, we should have evolved a half wing by now, if evolution theory is correct. A half wing is also okay according to Richard Dawkins, right?
Well, yes, as we grow up, we have lost our innocent childhood which we have no way to return to. That reminds me about what humankind has lost in the Garden of Eden, the paradise. By rebelling against our Creator God's only rule 100%, Adam and Eve gained the knowledge that robbed them of their guiltless innocence which had been lost forever since then. ( I think that is also the symbolic meaning of eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Not that knowledge is not good but we don't need to really rob a bank in order to get the knowledge of robbing banks. In a word, we don't need first hand knowledge of doing bad things, i.e. bombing other people.) What if our original pair of ancestors ate the fruit of tree of life instead? Have you ever thought about that?
You kept saying that God is just for Jews only. Dawkins has the same thinking. So I pasted here below a brief rebuttal to him from "Dawkins' Letters" for your reference.
Anyone who reads the Bible in its context cannot take seriously the suggestion that Jesus only came for the Jews and that love your neighbour, only meant the Jews. The very parable that Jesus told to illustrate that truth was one which involved a non-Jew. Your rewriting and rereading of these verses is out of context, dishonest and deceitful special pleading which says a whole lot more about your prejudgements than it does about the Bible. You base much of your thinking here on what you call a ‘remarkable paper’ by John Hartung, an associate professor of anaesthesiology and anthropologist. This paper entitled 'Love Thy Neighbor: The Evolution of In-Group Morality,' includes an acknowledgement of you and your wife and more disturbingly a sympathetic review of Kevin MacDonald's A People That Shall Dwell Alone: Judaism as a Group Evolutionary Strategy. It is all getting disturbingly close to the ‘evolutionary’ view of
religion and Judaism that the Nazi academics and
scientists taught. And it is a million miles away from
what the Bible actually says.

Dear SS, What Jesus talked about Heaven is really not a wishful thinking because He came from Heaven and returned to Heaven; He has risen from death and lives forever so His promise of eternal life is a sure thing. Furthermore, He has given the Holy Spirit (as a guarantee for eternal life) to dwell in those who believe in Him too.
Dear SS, are you sure you don't want eternal life if it is a true promise?
May God wake you up!
