I don't agree with your opinion but that doesn't make it irrational. You feel the way you do for whatever reasons you do. That's fine your welcome to do so


As for my thoughts on Evolution I believe in the good book. Evolution and the good book clash in their views.
I go with what I have chosen to accept and embrace.

You on the other go with the Evolution belief at the expense of the good book.
You go with what you have chosen to accept and embrace.

One thing that does concern me though is your claim that it is FACT.
It was once FACT that the world was flat. Look how that panned out

It is believed to be correct by some would be a better way of putting it.
it's not irrational because i disagree with it. it's irrational because it starts from irrational preumptions and is poorly argued.

at least i can give you credit for your approach to evolution. if your bible books are correct, evolution can't be. they are contradictory. someone ought to tell the pope.

a flat earth hypothesis was built on the strenght of evidence of personal experience. it certainly looks flat! however, it was shown by an egyption dude measuring the lenght of shadows of sticks in two different places at the same time that the earth was spherical (**** off pedants!).

interestingly though, that news didn't make it through in time to make it to the human authors of the bible:

Isaiah 11:12
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. (KJV)

Revelation 7:1
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. (KJV)

Job 38:13
13 That it might take hold of the ENDS OF THE EARTH, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? (KJV)

Jeremiah 16:19
19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ENDS OF THE EARTH, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (KJV)

Daniel 4:11
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the ENDS OF ALL THE EARTH: (KJV)

Matthew 4:8
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; (KJV)
we know there is nowhere on earth visible from all other parts. that seems to contradict quite a bit of the above, dontchya think?

the evidence supporting evolution is a teency weency bit stronger than that supporting flat earth theory was. any theory that would supersede it has to expkain all that evidence, evidence which supports that all life on earth is related, descended from ancestors who are no longer here. none of which supports a personal, intelligent creation.
