You do realize that you may just as well post from the collected German folktales of the Brothers Grimm.
The irony is, that everyone here--creationist, other theists, atheists, agnostics, whatever--are all quite fmiliaar with the text and have all read it thoughtfully.

There has been an evolution agenda since Lyell.
The agenda was/is to undermine God's law (ie. The Ten Commandments) given to Moses.
This is because people don't want to admit they are sinners to A Holy God, urgo, they won't be in need of a saviour...Jesus The Christ.
The entire theory of evil-ution is a lie of the devil.

Which one of those "commandments" tells you "thou shalt not evolve"?

Simple fact, nothing about evolution invalidates the 10 Command.

Maybe not, but ...

Jeremiah 2:26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.

Only relevant if you believe that the theory of evolution denies God's authorship of our being.

'God's' Word. A small g suggests paganism. It gives goofy people away :)

Simple fact, nothing about evolution invalidates the 10 Command.
Exodus 20
1 And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

(1) 3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;

(2) 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

(3) 7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. (This includes uttering the name of Jesus in an irreverent way, om..etc)

(4) 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. (No mention of evolution-simple fact)

(5) 12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. (Self explanatory).

(6) 13 “You shall not murder. (includes hatred, anger, wishing people harm/dead etc.)

(7) 14 “You shall not commit adultery. (Includes looking at people with lust in the heart-according to Jesus.)

(8) 15 “You shall not steal. (Anything)

(9) 16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (Stop lying, stop believing liars-satan is the father of lies)

(10) 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.” (self explanatory).

Objection, your honor. Answer is non-responsive.

I said *which* commandment, and you dumped the entire text (of one version of the 10C).

Let me repeat my question in a slightly different form:

What *specfic* part of the 10 commandments is undermined by evolution?

Exodus 20
1 And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

(1) 3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;

(2) 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

(3) 7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. (This includes uttering the name of Jesus in an irreverent way, om..etc)

(4) 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. (No mention of evolution-simple fact)

(5) 12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. (Self explanatory).

(6) 13 “You shall not murder. (includes hatred, anger, wishing people harm/dead etc.)

(7) 14 “You shall not commit adultery. (Includes looking at people with lust in the heart-according to Jesus.)

(8) 15 “You shall not steal. (Anything)

(9) 16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (Stop lying, stop believing liars-satan is the father of lies)

(10) 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.” (self explanatory).

I'm not seeing any commandments. Is this part of the filler between commandments?

God - ie. Jesus, is The Author and Perfecter of 'our' faith (being etc.)

Are you in or are you out?

Choose this day who you will serve, as for me and my house, we will serve The Lord...

Do you mean The Bible?
Familiar with it as A Book of text? who isn't? Its the best selling Book of all time.
Read it thoughtfully? Don't believe that for a second.
