God used Evolution to create man

Your presumption concerning my knowledge is completely inaccurate.
I've read it many times and cannot see where any dictation may have occurred at all. Just because my interpretation fails to agree with yours doesn't mean my interpretation is invalid.

A great many Christians don't take Genesis literally, nor do they interpret Jesus' reference to Noah, or Adam to be any more a testament to their previous existence than a reference to Captain Ahab is a testament to his previous existence.

"Common Knowledge" does not always indicate truth and is rarely as common as the purveyors of such would like to believe.

Perhaps it would be better for your side of this debate if you provided the evidence rather than asking me to do the research to support your claims.

I did provide the evidence. The Bible.

This sort of seems like trying to explain to my mother how computers
work. Or explaining Harry Potter to someone that knows nothing about
it. It's best to read the book or watch the movies first.

There are genealogies tracing Noah from Adam. There are genealogies
tracing Jesus to Adam. There are many references by other writers as
to taking Genesis, Adam and the flood as literal history.

The entire bible story is about Adam, sin, the flood representing
salvation and leading up to Jesus. So I don't believe for a minute that
the Christians you are talking about are the Christians I am talking about.

The Bible doesn't say what you claim is says. If it does, I have failed to find it. Perhaps you could provide some quotes to support your claim.

Again, you claim that I haven't read the Bible despite my telling you that I have.

There are 2 genealogies tracing Jesus back to Abraham and Adam. They don't match each other. Why should I accept that these genealogies have any resemblance to the truth or have any value in determining the historical accuracy of Genesis?

You're not saying that the Christians that don't believe Genesis is true history are not Christians, are you?

You seem to be saying that if Adam and the Garden of Eden were not real history, then men don't sin and don't need a Savior. I don't see the logic in that contention because obviously men do sin.

No mankind has used evolution to destroy the idea of God!
but it isn't going to work.
