Evolution is a scientific theory, not a religious belief.
Looking to nature for causes of natural phenomenon is not idolatry nor religion.

You guys are just going in circles all the time :)

You should appreciate that little Smidlee actually stops at "bacteria to man" - that's already a huge achievement for a theist.
No matter that it's of course not yet exactly accurate, it's still much better than the regular "minerals to man"

Nope since God is beyond human intelligence and is something "wired" into man.
Has it ever occurred to you that we human beings have made gods in our own image and after our likeness and have then used them to explain our origins?

Yes.

We call those human beings mission fields.

That's what I've been saying. This is why it's forbidden in scripture. It's one of the ten commandments. Today Man tries to explain away his origins with a theory created by the image of his mind.

Because God is wired into man doesn't mean he going to worship his true Creator but instead believe everything under the sun but the true God.

I guess you would have to show that God created scripture then and not man.

Good luck with that.

It's not my job to prove the scriptures is the Word of God , only the Holy Spirit can reveal that to someone. You don't have to become "intellectual" to know either. All I can to do is to testify and stand on God's word.

If you want to claim that it is the Word of God, then yes you do have to provide the evidence. It is your claim.

Where is the evidence for this claim?

How many time do I repeat something. I come to God by faith just as a little child would. Faith put everybody on level ground which is why the pride of man hates faith. Atheist have to deny their faith for them to stand above everyone else.

What are you saying though?
Do you believe in God? I do.
If you are trying to say God doesn't exist, you have already cut me off. In that case, I have no need or want to discuss with you, ever.
Why are you posting in the part of the forum open to non-believers, if you do not want to discuss anything with them?

I have evidence for my claims, so we would not be on level ground.
I also have evidence with my faith.

I'm confused as to how Smidlees use of idolatry doesn't apply to parents.
Because my faith is not in evolution so I don't believe my parents or their parents or their grandparents, etc is my creator.

If my faith was in evolution it sure would. :)

Why would I need faith when I have evidence of change in the fossil record?

From the evolutionist Bible I see. All this shows as my video pointed out was human and apes had variety of different skulls. We even have a case of human with very small skull size buried along with modern day humans.
