At the end, no one is right. No one can say, this or that word was what was meant to lead the rest. We are asked to discern, that which is appropriate, until we cease to need words in this world, altogether? I don't think you are facing up to that, are you (if you were, you would give some words more credence than others)?

When you think of the Golden Rule or the Extra Mile, how does that agree with Evolution?
It neither agrees or disagrees. Evolution is merely a biological process.
Why do you keep the words of faith, if you simply want to evolve?
Why do you keep the words of faith?
Even evolve those words (would they be any different if you evolved them, no? But that is the point?)?
Not even remotely the point.

Jesus spoke words. When Jesus spoke words, He spoke the most important thing he could think of. Sometimes it was about sin, sometimes it was about righteousness, sometimes it was about Judgment. The whole point, is that sometimes, different kinds of words were important, in different ways. He did not harp on about His favourite theory.

OK, Jesus spoke words. Cool. What does this have to do with biology? Did Jesus ever speak about biology? (I don't recall any such dialog.) This board is about biology, not the statements of Jesus about other topics. Judgement, sin, righteousness, etc. are not relevant here.

[I can only reply to this in small chunks...]

"Golden Rule" and "Extra Mile" have *NOTHING* to do with evolution, or creationism. (or Christianity for that matter)

I don't want to evolve (in the biological sense). I can't evolve, because I am one being, not a community that interbreeds. I don't "keep the words" of faith in any sense that I can think of. I certainly don't keep the faith of the Christian anymore and I try very hard to avoid using religiously charged words to describe science, lest there be any confusion. Words like "faith", "believe", etc.

"Evolve those words" and "if you evolved them" are nonsensical phrases that I can't tie to any thing in any context. I suspect you are misusing English because it does not come easy for you. (That's OK, but knowing you limitations is important.) Try not to have arguments about you misunderstandings. We've told you many times that much of what you write is incomprehensible to us and (like above) we have given you many examples.

Please: learn what evolution is and stop using "faith" terms to describe it. Think of it like driving a car--- you don't need religious language to describe the procedures used to drive a car. Treat evolution that way.
