That's true but the dots have got to be there before you can connect them,
Yes, indeed.

And who puts them there?

God put dots in Genesis 1, that aren't connected by DNA.

Evolutionists connect (and reconnect) them, then expect us to agree.

They also make up their own dots.

The events in Genesis 1 are in chronological order.

The events in Genesis 2 are in chronological.

Just insert the chrolologically-correct Genesis 2 into the chronologically-correct Genesis 1, and you'll get the whole picture.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Genesis 2: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Genesis 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
Genesis 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
Genesis 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
Genesis 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Genesis 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
How would 2.25 come before 1.27 i.e. Adam's already made, and then God's making him. And who gave you this "insight"?

Let me ask you this:

How many times was Adam placed into the Garden in Chapter 2?

Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Genesis 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.


Obviously it's relating a prior act.

God? are you sure it wasn't the tooth fairy? after all how would we know the difference when they're both imaginary?

Evolution doesn't care who agrees it just is, evolution was doing it's thing long before we came on the scene and will continue to do it long after we're gone.
Gods come and go [even you know that] but as long as there's life there is evolution.
Humanity will have at least one more war and it will be a religious war then people will realise the foolishness of it all and put a stop too it for good, by that time you and I will be long gone and forgotten so it won't matter to us.

AV1611VET, you know there are people all over the world saying things about their religion as you are don't you?
for them their religion is as real as yours is for you, of course you are the only one who has been given the one true message all the others have been sadly misled into believing lies, billions and billions of people have all got it wrong, how sad is that?

When you think about it your God must really hate humanity to let so many suffer just because [unknown to them] they have all been given the wrong message.

In other words, you have to move passages around to make them fit your interpretation.

It's called "comparing Scripture with Scripture."

My favorite example is the sign that was placed over Jesus head on the Cross.

Can you tell me what it says?

All four Gospels say something different.

But to get the whole picture, you have to put all four Gospels together.

The gospel has been preached and published in virtually every language, to virtually everyone on earth. The world has been 'witnessed' and 'warned'. The end is nigh. :(

And admit that some of them got it wrong... but on the plus side, you get to pick which ones.

The bible has four main themes,

The history of Israel.
The history of the church.
The fate of the world.
The duty of Christians.

Lots of controversy on the first three, not much on the fourth.

So have all the other religions but that fact doesn't bother you one bit does it? the end is only nigh for the people about to die,
all the rest talked about it until they were about to die just as you do, and so it went on generation after generation with each generation mind numbingly convincing themselves that the end is nigh, I would say about two more generations and that will see religion in the US reduced to single figures or at most the teens.

But this time the end is nigh. :preach:
