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.

Fair point - I think Alfred Wallace might have brought evolution to public notice even if Darwin had not.

May've even made contact with alien life forms.
In other words you blame the bible for dragging down scientific progress.

I somewhat disagree with your statement sir, I personally blame stubbornness for the lack of scientific progress.

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.

So you're saying then, that history or sociology confirm what Paul wrote --- or deny it?

Generally confirm, yes, for the reasons I gave.

Paul made a few claims in those verses which either cannot be confirmed or were somewhat prejudicial. Like I said, he was not writing in a vacuum.

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).
&
Fact: God made it possible, for the Bible to be written.

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