Darwin's idea of evolution is brave but it is meant to stay as an theory until it's proven. That is why we always regard it as "theory of evolution" and not "Law of Evolution". There is no "Law of god" either, only "faith in god".
Neither science nor religion can prove each other wrong. Even if you prove one part of it is wrong, it doesn't mean the whole idea is wrong.
Science is intellectual and religion is spiritual. Science is not complete as it is based on human senses, it only says that "things you can't see or feel does not exist". Religion is not complete as you can't prove it because the most important things in it are the things you can't feel or see, namely faith.
Spiritual growth and intellectual growth are both important. I doubt that there will be a day where by science can prove god does not exist. Nor I believe that the Bible is 100% true as it is merely translations of human perception of god. Given our limited intelligence, we will never understand the word of god, who created all and somemore compile it into a book. Error in science and faults in religion should be tolerated as theory and books are none other than human creation. At the meantime believe in what you want and be happy about it. Debates are acceptable but not arguments.
Whether there are heavens or not, you would not want to hold grudge against your own kind. Whether science or religion is true, I only know that if you forsake your own kind, we do not deserve to have an afterlife anyway. Be tolerant and patient to others and try to listen with both ears before you speak with one mouth.
