this statement has a false premise; people DO NOT EVOLVE
Yes, people
do evolve in both body in mind. Ideas change over the years along with what is socially acceptable/unacceptable. It used to be that keeping a black person as slave was acceptable, if not encouraged. Do you think that would go over well with people today?
People also change in body. You should at the very least be able to agree with micro-evolution, correct? If not I have a news flash for you. If a black person has sex with a black person they will have a black child. If everyone that is not black stops having sex with each other there will only be black people left. There, evolution in action. As for macro-evolution there is quite a lot of evidence supporting it. While it may not ever be a hundred percent true it will probably be 99.99% true if it's not already.

religions sometimes evolve into something different then the orignal teaching. WHich would qualify them as heresies. Which would make them not true, and therefore they cannot be the truth with regards to religion.
You probably didn't catch this, but when I used the example for Large changes I was referring to Christianity. Christianity in case you haven't noticed is an offshoot of Judaism which, by your logic, makes it a heresy.

no it isn't. Atheism hasn't evolved and its still around. The followers of the way have not evolved and they are still around.
If you are to consider Atheism a religion (Despite it being a lack of religion) then their set of beliefs would probably be morality and science. Since those
have evolved over the years it can be said that Atheism has evolved.
there is a true religion that was right the first time.
As I stated before Christianity is reformed (drastically so) Judaism. So whatever your true religion is, it sure as hell isn't one led by Jesus.
