Evil-ution

Bottom line... If you are using the words of genesis to try and say Evolution is wrong you are deluding yourself thoroughly.

#1. Genesis displays an obviously incorrect assessment of the earth that was based on the knowledge available thousands of years ago.

The bible has numerous clear accounts that describe the earth as flat, describe the earth as not moving, the sun as moving, weather being originated from God.

#2 The Bible wasn't written as a scientific journal. It wasn't meant to give an account of creation. How could it? Complete Understanding of the way the earth works requires knowledge we don't even possess today. Far more knowledge than could've been given at that time. Fact is Genesis was A COLLECTION of writing "CREDITED" to moses. The true author, like many important books of the Bible is UNKNOWN.

It is obvious from archaeology that oral language came before written, thus It becomes logical that genesis was simply a collection of the oral traditions finally written down over centuries.

Hey, thumper, if you'd like a bit more understanding on how the Bible (not what people believe it says) and science agree and the areas evolution can't explain start here: http://www.caraudio.com/forums/thunderdome-forum-members-only/537459-evil-ution-23.html

Lol that link takes you back here.

No offence, but I believe you're trying to make the Bible fit. (Driving a square peg into a round hole)

Science and the Bible often don't agree. I'm not saying that that simple fact discredits either, but instead i'm saying that simple fact speaks to the nature of the two, and how they are disjoint. The Bible wasn't meant as a textbook in science and if you use it that way your conclusions come up wrong. Science wasn't meant as a religion and when you use it to explain the supernatural your conclusions become arbitrary to understanding.

The Bible is a useless argument against Evolution. Period.

The fact is Evolution is the best explanation by far. And almost every argument I've ever seen including all the arguments in the work you posted came from either a biased interpretation of data, or the inability to understand the argument or mechanism of evolution.

When we see that a Non-primate called a squirrel looks and acts similar to simple primates such as lemurs, then we find fossils of what appear to be squirrels with opposable thumbs. We make inferences.

How does the creationist explain that the only way deer use their antlers is fight and kill one another? That's like saying god invented Guns.

How does the creationist explain that over 99% of all species that ever existed were extinct before man had written his first word?

How does the creationist explain that according to the Bible Light and Plants existed before the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

How does the creationist explain that 1 in 700 births result in trisomy 21 (or down syndrome) where a child literally has an extra chromosome.

How does the creationist explain that Raphanobrassica is an individual species formed by the hybridization of the radish and cabbage?

How does the creationist explain that allopatric speciation has been observed in fly populations.

How does the creationist explain that People who came from Africa were black, and from Asia had prominent epicanthic folds(a symptom of many genetic conditions).

How does the creationist explain that fossils can be dated to 3.4 billion years ago?

How does the creationist explain that in phylogenic trees based on age, common traits can often be traced back to single species very clearly, and these individuals often appear very like another species. (IE. Squirrel with monkey thumbs, Reptiles who give live births, birds that have feathers but don't fly and look like dinosaurs, etc.)

Already explained. My post was to thumper as our discussion is over because you refuse to read my evidence and question things that you'd have the answers to had you done so.
