So again, we get "Because man says so" as the only reason, further backed up by an argument from ignorance.

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.
What is the greatest evidence against the theory of evolution...?

God said it, not man. Do you have anything to offer? Or are you going to keep hammering me for believing that God had men write His Word down?

Man said it in the Bible.
You could start by showing me something other than what man has written if you want to claim that it is the writings of God.

How do you know? How do you know they weren't just writing down what they thought to be the case? What evidence do you have (not opinion, evidence) that a 'spirit' was instructing their writing?

Please do not put words in my mouth or do my thinking for me. I believe all entities have a free will and so God cannot and does not force them to do things. Each has a choice whether to follow God's initial for the occasion. Evil can occur because creatures can chose otherwise that God's aim. That does not mean all evil is caused by individuals with wicked intentions. The read to Hell is paved with good intentions as well. God may well be the God of order, but God is also continually creative, continually bringing in novelty. Creativity always results in some real degree of chaos, as it is shaking up the system. We often fail to follow God, because we are too big on order, maintaining the status quo.

Yes, but the same can be said for you. The inerrancy of Scripture is not a fact, it is a theory. Tested out, it doesn't work. The idea that God intended Scripture to be an accurate geophysical witness is not a fact, it is a theory. Tested out, it doesn't work. Arguing that Scripture has to to be completely inerrant is not a fact, it is simply a theory whereby certain humans have projected their human-made standards of perfection onto God. It is blasphemous because we should not assume that God always has to live up to our standards of perfection or anything else. So, before you take off and criticize outers, carefully address teh weaknesses in your pet ideology.

Irrelevant argument. The fact that birds may stay birds does not alter the fact that there are different species of birds and that these species do evolve from one another. Your whole line of reasoning here is elf-defeating. It is as if you were to argue that there no evolution because all animals stay animals, or all primates stay primates, in which case humans and apes are the exact, same species. You are playing around too much with the definition of a "species," changing its meaning any time that seems to support your position.

That's your faith, Clothed. Another one of your self-defeating arguments. If that apples to others here, it also applies to you , too.

I have trouble believing that there imaginations of the ancient people were that big... Or that they were lying or even exaggerating or embellishing for that matter...

Again, another one of your self-defeating arguments. You still cannot directly observe that God created the world in six days, either.

Another self-defeating argument. I can make up my own mind and I simply see the inerrancy model of Scripture as completely and utterly false and irrational.

And another self-defeating argument on your part. I don't believe the species were created separately. I'm sorry, I just don't.
