Yup --- and I've got four departments
right here that say evolution can take a hike.

Bible Is the Bible against Evolution?
Here are my Four Biblical Refutations Against Evolution:
1. NOT ENOUGH TIME.
The Bible portrays this universe as having been in existence for approximately 6100 years. This is much too short a time for evolution to work.
The Bible is wrong. According to Jesus, Moses, who he says wrote the Torah, got it wrong! (See below.)
2. GOD'S CREATION LEFT NO ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.
Six times in Genesis 1, God pronounces his Creation "good". Then He steps back and pronounces the whole thing "very good".
Someone
wrote that God said it was very good. Later on, though, he wiped almost all of it out in a flood. Sounds like faulty design.
Evolution, on the other hand, demands room for improvement.
Scoring in the 98%tile on the SAT is very good, but there is room for improvement. And, if trilobites were so great, why aren't there any around anymore?
3. THERE WAS NO DEATH IN GENESIS ONE.
* The Bible portrays death as an enemy of God.
* [bible]1 Corinthians 15:26[/bible]
Evolution, on the other hand, works by leaving a trail of death behind.
And yet, everything that lives, dies. Your god is apparently not very effective against his enemies. But then, as H.L. Mencken observed, “God created man in his own image, and man, being a gentleman, returned the compliment.”
4. JESUS TAUGHT CREATION.
[bible]Mark 10:6[/bible]
KJV Mark 10:
"1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
He wasn’t teaching about creation, he was teaching about marriage and divorce. And notice, that he is disagreeing with Moses, who he believed wrote the Torah.
[bible]Mark 13:19[/bible]
Jesus takes Genesis One literally --- in fact --- He wrote it.
It was commonly accepted, that Moses wrote the Torah, and Jesus apparently accepted this. Obviously, Jesus didn't think that he wrote it himself. And if he did, then he is saying that he, himself, was wrong to allow divorce. And yet, he says
Moses got it wrong! It would seem that Jesus, unlike you AV1611VET, did not even pretend to bow down and worship words on paper.
Theology does require some mental effort after all --- which would make you the laughing-stock of atheists here).
Astrology, phrenology, Tarot reading, and palmistry also require some mental effort. Schizophrenics also must take great trouble to support their delusions. Many things that are hard to believe just aren't so. Difficulty is not evidence of pertinence.
You make all sorts of claims, AV1611VET, based or your singularly quirky interpretation of a collection of texts written over a period of several hundred years, by people living in cultures you don’t understand. And by simple observation, we see that the world does not work as you say it does.
That’s why I can’t take you seriously. Your god is even smaller than you are, and if he doesn't do things your way, he can take a hike!
