Responce: Hey I know that this does'nt fit here but listen to this. God Hardening Pharoah's heart is not a contridiction. First really quick ( write back if you want an indepth answer) you have to look at how God hardened Pharaoh's heart. First Pharoah hardened his own heart Ex 7:13 and Ex 8:19. It declares that Pharoah's heart grew hard Ex 7:13. Futhermore, the way God hardened his heart is by showing the Pharoah mercy. every time God would relieve him of a plague the Pharoah's heart grew hard. So in a sense God did harden his heart with mercy the pharoah hardened his own heart out of stubborness.

Responce: No way, this shows Gods authority even over the powers of darkness. First the devil had to answer to God in the opening of the book. Next God used the Devil to make Job suffer but God wanted to mold Job into a better person. So the Devil wanted to kill Job but God wanted to make him more holy. Yes God is in control of everything.

Responce: Because the Bible has history behind it and is evidential.

Responce: But you can't look at Europeans and find Christianity you have to go to the source.

Responce: It takes more faith to beleive in Evolution than it does to believe in creation.

Responce: Yes, sin does exist but we can debate this later if you choose. And in this day and age evolution is on the ropes. from a Biological, Chemical, and logical God has revealed himself to the world.
