The Bible doesn't actually preclude the existence of other Gods
Yes it does.
...most of the New Testament has little to do with Christ himself (although it makes lots of allusions to him to keep you interested)
Have you even read the New Testament? It has everything to do with Christ.
let's face it, if the guy even existed, I don't actually know precisely what he would do.
It says what he did right on the pages you claim to know so much about. Jesus preached the gospel, healed the sick, performed miracles, and fed thousands of people. His claim to be God directly contradicted Jewish law. the religious leaders asked the Roman government to execute him. In each of several official trials, the Romans found that he was not guilty of breaking any Roman law. Even the Jewish leaders recognized that other than Jesus' claim to be God, Jesus followed the Jewish law perfectly. Still the religious leaders, using the argument of political disfavor, persuaded Pilate, a Roman governor of the Southern province of Israel, to authorize an execution in which he was tortured and killed. However, according to more than 500 witnesses, Jesus returned from the dead three days later, and over the next 40 days journeyed in both the southern and northern provinces of Israel before ascending to Heaven.
The fossil record is littered with hundreds and thousands of creatures that have no direct genetic descendants.
You are correct! Indeed, fossils only provide us with evidence that an organism died, not that it ever had any descendants. This fossil record is proof of death and nothing more.
Natural selection is based on extinction....But somewhere up the evolutionary tree, their second or third cousins twice removed were better adapted and survived.
Is not natural selection the main, or one of the main mechanisms of evolution, and evolution is the process of the continuance and betterment of life? You are saying that life depends on death, and that "somewhere," somehow, it all works out? In no uncertain terms, this is foolish.
