But that seems to be the moral high ground that most religions take. Ours is right and every one else is going to hell/must be blown up/forcibly converted etc etc.

i dont think the strength of a hydrogen bond changes so time would have no effect.

It does actually. The coupling "constants" do change over time. Admittedly over extremely long time periods but change they do.  If you go back to the creation of the universe (using astrophysical not religious models) then the constants were actually all equal to the same value. I am not joking when I say the value was 1/42 (and, yes, i believe that is where Douglas Adams got his answer to life, the universe and everything from)

And that's why I can't take any religion seriously - if one of these religions is actually right, then it appears to be pot luck if you get salvation or not, depending on where you were born or what your parents believed  

I'd much prefer to base my faith in science, rather than some hokey myth (sorry if it offends, but it's just my opinion on religion)

if god made the planet, why make stinging netles, wasps, other beasties, if we were to be the ppl that own it, why create little things that have no role... i doubt it created them to annoy us
