animals are safer from predators than small

or Pan panics) and ancient varieties of hominids
(Tanner 1981). Still, modern humans are not
chimps. Substantial di...

exist, then nothing else really matters; if He
does not exist, then nothing really matters at
all. If He does exist, then there is an eternal
heaven to be gained (Hebrews 11: 16) and an
eternal Hell to be avoided (Revelation 21: 8). The
