You're only arguing about macroevolution because you know that that takes many lifetimes, so you feel you can safely ignore the fossils and DNA that are evidence of macroevolution. It's a hollow argument that depends on you ignoring evidence, denying the evidence. And it's hollow because you assert there is evidence of gravity, but deny the evidence of evolution. The human today is different from the human 1000 years ago. An apple falls on someone's head. Both observable, demonstrable phenomena. For the one, you demand minute detail on how and why. For gravity, you don't demand any detail on how and why. And yet, science actually understands the how and why of evolution much better than the how and why of gravity. We don't know why matter is attracted to matter, we don't know how the force exerts itself.
How is the flu vaccine evidence of evolution? The influenza virus is still the influenza virus, not something else.
Again, there are no fossils that demonstrate evolution, also known as macroevolution.
There is nothing wrong with teaching evolution as a theory, along with creation as a theory. Neither should be taught as proven fact, because both are unproveable.
Total BS. There is not one piece of evidence to prove creation. Its taken as faith that is to believe without empirical evidence. Evolution is the oppisite it was a hypothisis, then with proof it became a theory. Now more and more it gets proven with every discovery. The geological column proves what the theory predicted.

What does Creationism have do with anything?
That poster said that neither evolution or creationism should be taught in public school and they are right.
Theory of evolution lacks support and thus should not be taught.
And now we're 700+ posts into this, and the anti-science, anti-fact brigade is still refusing to accept facts and instead asserting that what they wish to be true actually has some basis in reality.
The mental gymnastics and faulty reasoning employed are truly amazing. They must be surprised every morning by which direction the sun rises.
It takes quite the lack of intellectual curiosity to reject all evidence gathered over centuries of careful study and instead choose to rely on simple myths written by some dudes in the desert who had little to no factual information to go on.
Several things are problematic with your post.
One, you're trying to paint a picture of ineptitude and irrational thinking, as evidence by your words of "anti-science", "anti-fact", "wish to be true actually has some basis in reality", "mental gymnastics", "faulty reasoning", etc. In doing this, you're trying to influence others to a point of view that you agree with without offering any explanation for why the other point of view is wrong, other than it is because it was "written by some dudes in the desert who had little to no factual information to go on".
As I've clearly pointed out, I've explained how the things pointed out fit with the Bible, and how it is not at odds with the Word of God. Yet, even with this, you create a false reality.
Second, you don't seem to consider that the men who wrote the Bible were inspired by God to write it. God was guiding their hands. If God can create something as grand and complex as the universe and everything within it, then certainly He can speak to men, guiding their hands in writing the Bible. God can do anything.
Third, you imply that fallible man knows more than God.
You must have never read the Bible then. It is from cover to cover, Old and New Testament, a flat-earth book.
No it isn't.
