Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
What's your point? Everything evolutionists believe in hinges on a single book as well - considering how Chamber's Vestiges was trashed by the establishment, there's no chance that evolution would be trendy today without the publication of Origin.
Haha. No.
Everything "evolutionists" accept hinges on 150 years of observation, and over 10,000 (Or it might be 100,000, I forget.) peer reviewed papers based on those observations.
If Darwin didn't make those observations, then someone else would've, eventually.

Perhaps I should have said - read history or sociology to find this out.
Paul, when he wrote those words, was hardly isolated from the society he lived in, and nor was he an uneducated and unintelligent observer.
The problem with the Bible is that it does not give good historical detail nor does it offer empirical evidence to back its claims up - in the context of what I am claiming. Far better if you read your history and sociology books, and kept the bible as a part of your religious practice.
I am very interested in your experience, Sk8.
Did you have any contact with a Christian before discovering the Judeo-Christian God
or were you living somewhere completely untouched by the West (perhaps in the deepest parts of the Amazon?) and one day you came to the realization that there was a being who created the universe and who became simultaneously both wholly god and wholly human, came to earth and sacrificed himself to himself to pay for the sins of his own creation?
And all without external reference to either a Christian or Christian information from a third party?
This is astounding. I would think that would be very amazing. Please do tell more and in detail. Thanks.
You want to know more? - for what purpose?

The op asked: "If the bible were never written, would you believe in evolution?"

What does one, have to do with the other?
Fact: God made it possible, for evolution to occur, & continue... (just not as atheists believe that religion).

Instead of continued sarcasm, the op can bring himself to post something really worthwhile...
