She prioritized, thanks to her YEC friends, who probably prayed for her salvation and witnessed to her.She was raised by Young Earth Creationists in a town that infamously rejects evolution because of fallacious ideology about it. Had she been raised by any of the majority of Christians who accept evolution as an explanation for the mechanisms of life and embrace Christ as the meaning of life, she wouldn't have undergone the intense conflict she experienced in young adulthood. She didn't "backslide." She advanced.
For most normal Christians, evolution has very little to do with their salvation.
Okay.
Thanks for the correction.
I was going to quote this verse as my trump card ...
1 Corinthians 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
How did male and female originate? Why?Except that it does.
There's real evolutionary advantage to sexual reproduction as well.
Quite a lot is known about it

I didn't say a couple. I asked for ten. The whale is always used and so is the ERV's but I didn't exclude it just to give you a better chance at ten. Eight more please.Why "excluding the whale"?
To devastating to your objections to macro evolution?
Here are a couple:
- human chromosome nr2: evidence of "macro divergence" of an ape ancestor into chimps and humans
- shared ERV's: evidence of "macro divergence" of ape ancestors into all the great apes (including humans).
You can turn your denial mode on now.
Nope I don't deny that Maurice Bucaille is a medical doctor or that he wrote a book explaining how mega accurate the Quran is. I said and still say that you have no clue how the two are connected and how the Old Testament is viewed in Islam.Do you deny that Maurice Bucaille, a medical doctor, wrote a book explaining how mega accurate the Quran is scientifically?
Perhaps you should look it up.
This has nothing to do about my understanding (or lack thereof) concerning the bible or the quran, and everything to do with the fact that you can find "professionals" in every religion claiming how scientifically accurate that specific religion is.
It doesn't mean anything because on every occasion, one requires a "very specific" interpretation of the scripture in question to reverse match it to the actual scientific knowledge, given to us by science, not by religious scriptures.
In almost all cases I have been presented with, it required quite some psychological gymnastics to "match" the scriptures to the facts of reality.
Every time, I remain unimpressed.
We have historical documents that show He existed and was crucified. Documents that claim He did magic. These are from non-Biblical sources. We have the historic document of the Bible as well.What do you know about Jesus? stories?
The Bible has shown it is a historic document that provided information about past cultures, people and places.What is biblical history? what part of the bible is history apart from some place names?
I've made it pretty clear. It doesn't surprise me you don't know because you rarely really read what is being said and go for dismissing it outright.And yet, after all those threads and long, long, looooooong discussions on the topic, it's still completely unclear to me what your stance on it is.

Wrong about what?The problem is that both creationists ,and non theistic evolutionists are wrong .

Are you unaware of these? Doesn't surprise me.You do? That sounds important, you may need to tell somebody about this.
Historians know about them.You bet. Many NT historians would like to be clued in here.
i've noticed this too.I've made it pretty clear. It doesn't surprise me you don't know because you rarely really read what is being said and go for dismissing it outright.
i've noticed this too.
there are a number of scientists that outright state that natural selection is no longer valid as a driving force of evolutionary change.
i find it astounding that evolutionary scientists hardly ever say what they mean, especially when it goes against established dogma.There are a number of papers and quotes that you fail to understand that leads you to that false conclusion.
Why don't you find a single one of those scientists who states that natural selection is not the major driving force of adaptive evolution. Not genomic complexity. Not genetic drift. Adaptive evolution.
Historians know about them.
“Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular.” Cornelius Tacitus
“It was taught: On the day before the Passover they hanged Jesus. A herald went before him for forty days (proclaiming), “He will be stoned, because he practiced magic and enticed Israel to go astray. Let anyone who knows anything in his favor come forward and plead for him.” But nothing was found in his favor, and they hanged him on the day before the Passover. (b. Sanhedrin 43a)
i find it astounding that evolutionary scientists hardly ever say what they mean, especially when it goes against established dogma.
I'm not aware of a single evolutionary biologist that states that. Certainly none of the biologists you've quoted or linked to has said that.i've noticed this too.
