With that one post you just demolished any hope to have other members believe your claim that you are here to engage in an honest search for truth.

I don't think I had that hope to begin with from the looks of it. I have only seen a lot of side stepping the question.

Seems people thought I said you can't be an evolutionist without being a liberal. I never said such a thing. Fact.

Do you think I should take seriously the posts of people in this thread that fault the Bible for having errors when they themselves can't even read correctly?

Arguing with a YEC or Biblical Literalist Creationist is just masochistic. They are impenetrable to reason, evidence or logic.
There is no point to any debate with YEC literalists (like our Eternal C34 . . . RIP) unless you just enjoy making them look ignorant and foolish as a form of entertainment . . . as rifleman and others did with C34 and rifle continues to do on the Noah's ark thread with a new foil. There is no there there . . . you cannot reason with unreasoning credulity.

I believe that the universe was created by an alien, named Ted, who blew up his apartment while trying to make beer. And I believe that life on Earth was started by a magical stork who continues to bring newborn baby children to excited parents all around the world. I have a 2,000-year-old book, written by men who were taking dictation telepathically from Ted, which tells me that I'm right.

PROVE ME WRONG.

All of your questions have been answered...It is your problem if you do not like the answers, and the answers do not agree with the myths you believe in, but address real accepted facts.

Maybe those "duh its science so its fact" posts laced with venom are sufficient for you but they are anything but honest.

Although I did look back at your initial response, and yours was probably the only one that didn't reek of sarcasm and condescending undertones.
