That blasphemer would have had to have lived for about 1500 years.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Unless he existed at a time after the books of the bible was written and was given the power to decide which books would be passed on in the canon and which books would be forgotten. Heck, there may even have been more than one such person. It's even possible, though unlikely, that they all met in Rome in the year 382 to hold some sort of council. Nah. Couldn't be.

Conflation of Blathers
So if GOD told you that you were interpreting scripture wrong, you would tell him to "take a hike." Indeed, you do worship the BIBLE and not GOD.

Are you following here? We're talking about one single individual writing the Bible.

Isn't that what you believe, AV? One single individual wrote the Bible?

On Human Chromosome 2, here's what I think is the best explanation for the layman of what all this is about, in the form of a short, 4-minute video:

It's also worth noting that chromosomes are themselves basically just packages for DNA. Which chunks of DNA go where are pretty much irrelevant, so a fusion event like this really doesn't have much of any effect (well, other than reducing fertility for interbreeding between those with and without the fused variant). What's important isn't how DNA is grouped into chromosomes, but rather what DNA is there in the first place. This means that, as Ken Miller states in the above video, it is impossible for a chromosome to be lost: the DNA is sufficiently shuffled around that the loss of any single chromosome would be lethal. The DNA still has to be there, but it can be shuffled into different orders. And that's exactly what happened with our ancestors.

Nor reading comprehension (although we knew that). The question put to him was what he would do if God Himself said He used evolution (not Satan posing as God).
Either that or AV can't distinguish between God and Satan... which doesn't bode well...

Make no mistake... he knows what he'd do. He's not stupid, he's just ignorant. He just won't answer the question because it makes him hurt inside.

If God, Himself, said He used evolution to make Adam & Eve, then obviously the definition of evolution as used by "higher" academia is wrong.
Evolution does not allow for Adam & Eve to coexist as our first parents.
In fact, y-Adam and mtDNA Eve lived, if my memory serves me correctly, thousands of years apart?

Remedying a poverty of knowledge
"We can sin to the right as well as to the left. Patriotism can degenerate into jingoism and enthusiasm into fanaticism and virtue into prudishness. It is possible not only to have slack theological views, but to have views far more rigid and dogmatic than Scripture itself. Hyperorthodoxy in trying to be loyal to the Bible has developed an exaggerated sense of what loyalty to the Bible means. . .would it really believe the Bible if at every point the Bible and science conflicted? If the differences between the sciences and the Bible were to grow to a very large number and were of the most serious nature, would it retain faith in Scripture? True, we may believe some of the Bible "in spite of" science, but certainly the situation would change if we believed all of the Bible in spite of science. That is to say, the hyperorthodox have made a virtue of disagreeing with science, and have not set any sort of limits as to how serious the divergences with science may go before they must rethink their position. Their guiding principle cannot be extended without making their entire position indefensible or simply absurd. We question that the hyperorthodox would follow their principle through to its extremity, and therefore can only judge that it is an inadequate principle."
