Consider the following little updated/improved proof of the existence of God...
You know that all of the various 'proofs' ; they used to use in the middle ages have pretty much fallen by the wayside, particularly the "ontological" proof, you know, 'We perceive God to be that than which, nothing greater can be conceived...'; and all that.
My proof goes like this. You walk into a Home Depot store, and you walk over to the section where they sell propane barbeque grills. You know, these things:
Right? Look around, and see if you can find one which operates itself with no human intervention at all. There aren't any, right? I mean, there aren't any which go out and find their own food, prepare it and cook it when the urge comes over them; they ALL require that a human put food on them, and then operate the controls to cook it, right? That at least implies the existence of people, right? I mean, who would make such a thing if there were no people to use it, right?
Similarly, since it is inconceivably that evolutionists and atheists should not burn in hell and since hell like the propane grill could not operate itself of its own volition, the devil has to exist to operate the thing, right? You know, your grand imperial master? And since the devil would create total evil in our world if operating in the absence of God and since the world is not totally, 100% evil and f**ked up, therefore also God has to exist, QED.

If there were a punishment greater than death for man's sin, certainly a just and loving God would have warned Adam and Eve.
If there were a reward for obedience greater than everlasting life on earth, God would have told them of that as well.
