A question for Christians who accept evolution.
The church I attend is an extremely fundamentalist, Bible thumping, southern Baptist church. The pastor there is adamantly opposed to the teaching of evolution and has many times referred to it as a "demonic lie." His usual sermons consist of "Christians have to take a literal interpretation of Genesis," and "evolution is just a theory." However, in his latest frustrated tirade against evolution, he raised a question that I can't answer.

God couldn't just let them into heaven, as they didn't know that Jesus is lord, but could he send them to hell either?
He then went on to make mention to original sin, and how that doesn't add up either, but I was really tired and fell asleep soon after. Any answers would be very appreciated.
