But if you don't read about it. how would you know it's true? Darwin wrote that evolution book. He wasn't there when the earth was created so how would we know he's not lying or made misconceptions? How can you say it makes more sense if you don't read about it?
Pinky, all that applies to the Bible...

:
Not necessarily, because they actually found a bible written in another language and it was translated and written exactly as an english bible. Also, that's why Matthew, Mark, and Luke were the same but differently explained because they are different people and have different ways of writing but the stories are still the same.When we look at the thousands of old Bible manuscripts in the original languages of Greek and Hebrew available for study by anyone wishing to look, we find exactly that.
The teachings of Jesus Christ remain the same, whichever ancient manuscript we look at. They have not changed.
Think of the game Chinese whispers...the story will change after a couple of years. Anyway, the fact that its been translated also doesn't mean it can be trusted as much...since there is a margin for error.

:
Just because god gave mankind a will does not mean that he's not all powerful.
No, but he didn't know why we sinned. Which leads me onto he's not all knowing. Which in the term "knowledge is power" means he's not all powerful either.

:
Satan was good from the start. He was beautiful and had everything he wanted except being powerful than God. Lucifer wanted to steal the throne from God and rule heaven and share the glory with him but God refused. So, Lucifer started to rebel and was sent to hell and those angels who took his side went to hell also. The thing is that Satan does not control Hell, God does. Satan is getting thrown in the fire for eternity just like the rest of the souls down there. He's too busy burning to rule anything.
Ok, firstly Satan and Lucifer are completly different Angels. Secondly Lucifer still is beautiful, it is said he has the face of a child. Thirdly Lucifer didn't agree with the whole "being less important as the humans" and got jealous. And the whole "Satan or Lucifer don't control Hell" is wrong. Because they do control Hell. Satan is the Prince of Demons (or the East of Hell, i forget) and Lucifer is the ruler of Hell. My theory just goes as they're all on the same side, but somebody wanting to make it more interesting stated there was a massive fight between good and evil etc.

Anyway, as Pink said...the Bishop topic
