The Bible rejects evolution, therefore I reject evolution.
Lot's of things and people 'fell' in the bible story.
If the bible rejects evolution, then you should reject the bible. If you interpret genesis as metaphorical instead, you can join the majority of christians who also understand evolution to be true.
Do you also interpret John 6 literally and therefore believe in transubstantiation?
If the bible said 1+1=3, would you reject arithmetic?

We've seen that movie before. It was played when Copernicus, Gallileo, and others announced it was actually the revolution of the earth that caused the sun to appear to move. All the clerics, both protestant and catholic, proclaimed this had to be false because the bible asserts it is the sun that moves, instead.
They were wrong. Today, you are just as wrong, just as surely. Your repeat their error.
The sun rules the day (Gen 1). But for practical purposes the earth is the center of the universe.

No it is not. What you fail to understand is that the majority of differences are irrelevant to function and phenotype. One can take a human gene and stick it in a mouse and it will work fine. This is why genetic engineering works. The only explanation for the differences that makes any sense is genetic descent.
So "the only explanation for the differences that makes any sense is genetic descent."
And the only explanation for the similarities that makes any sense is genetic descent?
Hmmm. I'm stuck.
It seems that everything needs to fit your assumptions and faith right away.
Unless we off-world by Terra-forming a planet we can reach
within the distance we can safely traverse, yes.
It is the center and practically speaking, flat. (1 inch of curve/8000 inches)
Few humans would need to pay attention to such a curve.
Court of appeals ruled that:
Fact - All masses in the universe orbit around each other.

They were wrong.
Indeed they were.
But you're not giving them enough credit.
When such a great discovery is made in science, that a major belief is overturned, whether in the scientific realm or the ecclesiastical realm -- such as geocentrism giving way to heliocentrism -- you have to give the churches (and the opposing scientists) some leeway during this incubation period.
Expecting churches to accept this new paradigm overnight is expecting too much.
I'm sure even Galileo's contemporary scientists thought he was looney -- for awhile.
They fail to see that today as they failed to see that then.
How about the churches - including you, as a member of one such church - giving the scientists a little leeway during the incubation period?
Not.
Judas' rope broke and he "fell," Wormwood will "fall to earth".
If you're referring to Leviticus 14, you need to re-read that chapter.
The blood applied by the priests (ceremoniously) was done after the leprosy was healed.
Ignoring relativity laws to interpret the Bible, are we?
-- Huh?
Knowing what is literal and what is metaphorical in the Bible is what we call Biblical maturity.
I have no comment worth stating about today's scientists.
No, sir.
It'll take a lot more than evolution to get me to reject the Bible.
I'll pass.

According to the Triunity of the Godhead, 1+1+1=1.
