Becaue the Word of God is the answer to all things, and it is the guidebook for life.. But since you ask, I had a discussion with a friend a few days ago.
This may be the most ridiculous point of view I've ever heard. Whatever you think of the bible, however valuable it is to you, to say it is "the answer to all things" is simply ludicrous. Science, history, mathematics...virtually every academic discipline is full of things we have discovered which are not in the bible. The bible may well be the answer to many important questions...it is NOT the "answer to all things".
And the bible might be considered to be a guidebook...but if so, it's a very poor one, as witness the myriad number of interpretations it has. For a start, people can't even agree on whether or not Jesus was divine based on the gospels. And the first criteria for a guidebook is that it be clear. The bible ain't.
Thank you, Bushido216. It took a while to read through all of the heresies, but I am glad that someone is at least trying to help me with this. Look, I didn't ask for anyone's opionion on the matter. I posted this in the wrong place anyway. All I asked for was Bible verses that support my point of view. So far, no one has said anything that has made me think twice, or even once, about what the Word of God says. I am so tempted to take on the strange things I hear here, but I don't think I should. I found the right place to post my question, so I thank you all for your attempts at helping me with this. Take care, and God Bless!
John 16:33 -- "...In the world you have tribulation, but be of good cheer! I have overcome the world!" Ephesians 5:14 -- "Awake, O sleeper, and ARISE from the dead... and CHRIST shall give you light!"
Instead of looking for verses to support your view, shouldn't your view instead be based on verses?
I think he thought the bible said somewhere that animals were not aware, and was asking for help in finding the correct verse.
So he based his views on scripture and is now trying to find out which scripture he based them on. If that makes sense.

"Teaching the pagan religion of evolutionism is a waste of valuable class time and textbook space. It is also one of the reasons American kids don't test as well in science as kids in other parts of the world."

You didn't get the sarcasm, did you?
