Reinterpretation after the fact. And the appearance of various items are in the wrong order. It is best to treat Genesis as a morality tale.

This believing in evolution should be a given for any non believer as they are of the world, and basically have nothing else to look to for answers to life. They place themselves open to satans deceptions, as the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Where the tragedy of this deception is, is that this lie, has taken root in the lives of many believers. So they have basically turned their back on many areas of truth in The Bible.
Why, so they can be still accepted in the world and deceptions of satan? Not sure why a believer would choose that direction for their lives after receiving eternal life and becoming a child of God.

Have you considered that you are mistaken?
If it were literally a lie from Satan, why could believers accept while still loving Christ as their saviour?
Why can't they just be honest that the evidence is convincing and irrelevant to their faith?

Mistaken about what, that the Bible is not true or that the Bible does not say that God created man.
Why would Peter deny The Christ three time, he was a believer when he did this.
A believer can not be honest and believe something that goes against the Bible.

In my grandmother's day, they drove Model-Ts. What day was that? Why it was May 1, 1914; it was the only day she got.

Your interpretation and understanding of Genesis might be totally wrong.
I am fairly sure that you do not believe that God. Unfortunately your interpretation of Genesis says that God is a liar. This is why honest Christians that understand he sciences accept the theory of evolution. Accepting evolution is not a religious act. It is an honest one.
There is a saying that I have yet to be shown to be wrong: "There is no such thing as an honest and informed creationist.". Most creationists are honest but ignorant. They truly believe the creation story of Genesis. There is a big danger for creationists when they debate against reality. The only way to maintain one's beliefs is to become dishonest.

Interesting that you fail to see, that you are basing your beliefs and judgments from man and their information.
And man can not even tell the truth about current events, and they are supposed to tell the truth about times where they were not even present, what a joke.
I think Ed Davey (gunsmoke) says it well, I never had no education, I don't know how to tell lies

i am basing it on reality. Ideas can be tested to see if they are correct or not. One's interpretation of the Bible can be tested whether it matches reality or not. A literal interpretation of the Bible leads to Flat Earth beliefs since the Bible only describes the Earth as flat in word and deed. Being overly literalistic leads to incorrect beliefs.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Sorry, this has nothing to do with spirituality. Remember, there are countless different interpretations of different aspects of the Bible. Sometimes one can test one's interpretation by going outside of the Bible. Jesus is not "a door". He is not made of wood. There are parts of the Bible where it is a clear error to interpret it literally.

Do I need to be on the lookout for unnatural men? Are these robots or chimps?

That's the way you do it.
The creation week is not a normal, 9 to 5, type of week.
1 John 2:18
Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.
See, one hour is not really one hour.

The point is that God doesn't measure or experience time the same way we do. Note how the equivalence goes both ways. You could replace thousand in that passage with hundred, million, billion, trillion, any number, and it would still be true.

Well as far as we understand it, it's contradictory for a day to both be a thousand years, and a thousand years to be a day. So God doesn't view time the same way we do.

That's why taking certain things in the Bible too literally can be troublesome.

In response to my question about being on the lookout for "unnatural man"
When I look in the mirror, I see a natural man, not an unnatural man, and a close relative of the chimps.
I was born of a woman, that is the normal, natural way, and before "test-tube babies" so you can't pin that "unnaturalness" on me. I am made of human cells that are made with the known elements, so that seems natural to me. I don't have supernatural powers, so I would seem to stay in the natural category. I'm still not sure what these unnatural men I should be looking out for.
Yours truly, a somewhat bewildered, but natural man.
(I fixed what appears to be a broken quote tag in your quote of me. Hopefully this is what you intended to write to me.)
