What you have essentially done is dodge the original question posted to you: How do you still hold to your evolutionary beliefs in light of the fossil record?
Until you deal with GA's question you are the one dancing in the wind.
You have managed to isolate and manipulate the conversation by avoiding the real issue which is can YOU give a reason beyond your isogesis of scripture as to why you disagree with the
*Manuscript evidence
*Archeological evidence
*Prophetic & Statistical probability evidence
You have shy away from these topics in your ranting and raving.
All you have demonstrated is that anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot and that you have all the answers but you are not that smart. If you were you would be able to explain the origins of the universe. Many an intellectual has taken a stab at that topic. However you have simply dismissed the origins topic as "I don't know and that' o.k. with me" as if that somehow negates the fact that you don't know it all and its o.k. for you but not for others with opposing arguments. How hypocritical.

Quote from axeman:
AAAaaaahh another elegantly written post by Darkhorse
which accomplishes nothing more than dodging the issue
and attempting to imply that scientific thought and religious
thought are actually somehow on the same level.
"Hmmm, it appears to me the bible is full of holes, yet there are intelligent people who believe in it who are also capable of open mindedness and rational argument. how can this be? either
a) all those seemingly intelligent people are really quite stupid or "brainwashed"
or
b) perhaps, just perhaps, there are stronger responses to my criticisms that i haven't considered. am i only scratching the surface here? maybe i should do some more reading and find out.
"
Nice either/or fallacy. Your artificially limiting the choices here.
There are many other choices as well.
For example:
c) These are intelligent people who have deeply ingrained feel good
beliefs implanted in them from childhood which are part of their
culture which they refuse to drop, even though they contradict
their intellectual side.
d) These are intelligent people with an evolutionary mechanism
built-in to prevent them from acknowledging their own final death
without an afterlife, which prevents extreme depression
(Yes, this is a real hypothesis I have researched )
The fact is... it may very well be a valid case that intelligent
people can have "areas" of belief which they have no expertise in.
I think this is quite obvious in fact. Im an expert in computer science
but a complete idiot when it comes to art history for example.
Using your logic, this makes me an idiot.
Fact is... you can over all be quite intelligent, and completely clueless
when it comes to silly god beliefs, so lets not pretend some
complex explanation which leads to the fact that there is a
better reason is REQUIRED. It is not.
The obvious may in fact be true. The bible is a bunch of silly
fables which SOME really intelligent people still choose to believe.
After weighing the evidence and researching the bible
this is the BEST reason I have come across.
Going back to the contradictions, obviously a message board does not provide the space nor the attention span to provide a real answer.
And here we have the typical Darkhorse dodge
Oh.... I just don't have time or space to prove this to you. Whatever
The rest of your post is nothing more than a lame attempt
to bring the quality of biblical thought to the same level
as modern scientific thought.
Let's not pretend here. I might as well compare Little red riding hood
and the theory of relativity
Oh wait...thats too smug for you isn't it?
Does this alone somehow invalidate what I said?
Of course it doesn't, but you sure seem to think it does.

What complete nonsense. You are truly a confused person.
I haven't dodged anything.
He attempted to switch the subject to evolution, which this
discussion is not about. This is a typical tactic for a theist
who wishes to run from his weak position and mask it somehow.
I don't have to answer any of his irrelevant questions.
If I cant explain why the universe is here, this IN NO WAY
lends ANY credibility to his weak position.
If you truly believe it does, then you simple don't understand
basic reasoning.
If I hypothesized that the universe popped out some giant
rodents ass, and you had no alternative explanation, does
this somehow mean that my theory is true??!?!?!
Of course not! Completely ludicrous.
But this is in fact, your line of reasoning here. LMAO.
YOU give a reason beyond your isogesis of scripture as to why you disagree with the
*Manuscript evidence
*Archeological evidence
*Prophetic & Statistical probability evidence
**WHAT EVIDENCE??? ***
Still waiting for it
He hasn't given us shit.
We already know the bible is FULL of holes, as I already pointed out.
So what is this other so called evidence? Still waiting...ZZZzzzz
