  God created us in his image, which would give us his genetic ability

  What do you mean by "genetic ability"?

  would we not be the creators of life on Mars if we can do that?

  No. Why would we engineer new organisms when earth is teeming with millions of species already, many of whom thrive in the most extreme environments?

  would not that life no matter how simple be able to become self aware by Darwinist evolutionary theory?

  No. Bacteria and archaea have been on earth for 4 billion years. They show no signs of becoming self-aware

  
  

  he first astronaut to set foot on the planet will be highly evolved life, not microbes, so Darwin's theory is dead at this point.

  How did you make that connection? An astronaut goes to Mars and somehow that disproves evolution!

  NO BRJ is hijacking the thread by advising an exJW to go to church and find Jesus.

  Not going to let that sort of bullshit pass unchallenged ever.

  Only if you want to use words carelessly.

  Christians believe there is only one god - the god and father of Jesus christ.

  Scientists are not gods by any sensible definition of the word.

  Jesus will save everyone from becoming a JW, provided that are not conned by the JW's

  So will he or won't he?

  Were you ever a JW BRJ or did Jesus tell you to come here to preach?

  Jesus Christ is very much alive in the homes and hearts of 2.2 billion Christians

  Interesting metaphor.

  Muhammad is alive in the homes and hearts of 1.6 billion Muslims.

  The love that they have for his teachings is as immortal as the Son of God himself

  Well I was a born-again, saved, adopted son of god for almost a decade after I left the cult. So it turned out not to be an immortal love.

  introduce her to the real Christ that saves people everyday

  Saves people from what exactly?

  evolution is as far as we know Gods best work

  Evolution has no need for a god.

  Jesus Christ does not agree with your opinion

  Jesus is a pile of dust somewhere in the middle east.

  and neither do I.

  I don't worry too much about opinions. I am very impressed by verifiable facts if you have any.

  Religion should be at the very bottom of anybody's to-do list when they leave the cult.

  What you need to do is find a Church with real people to talk to, who will introduce you to the love of Jesus Christ.

  That is the worst advice anybody could ever give an exJW

  If for social reasons you want to meet with a relaxed theologically liberal church who could not care less what you believe then fair enough.

  Otherwise why would you swap one set of superstitions for another?

  All churches are cults. It's only a matter of degree.
