How do I "stimulate", my Evolution? I can be stimulated to embrace the theory, but what next?

Abusing the Bible does not help you. You would have to prove that the Bible is a reliable source. Since that is what is being debated, and you have not provided any evidence yet I do not see how you are going to do that. Right now you are merely employing a circular argument. That is s logical fallacy.

Who's the one providing the evidence?

Me? not hardly.

Some other poster here provided the evidence ... (I think he mentioned fossils).

So the evidence has already been provided.

Why are you wondering why I'm not supplying any?

Isn't what you have enough?

Lay your evidence right out here on the table.

One bone, or a whole graveyard ... let's see it and talk about it.

That is because you do not appear to understand the nature of evidence. The evidence provided only supports the theory of evolution. And why the continual falsehoods? Come on AV you know better than that.

That's not my job.

Did geologist Harold Cook present evidence for Nebraska Man?
No. He did not. But then you do not understand the nature of evidence. By the way, you just lost again.

Why are you using dishonest arguments? This sort of action could be considered trolling on your part and may be against site rules.

Again, I don't need to understand the nature of evidence.

Evidence ain't my bag.

People want to show me bones, then tell me where they came from and expect me to buy into it, and I'm not; because I already know -- (okay, believe strongly) -- where they came from, how they got that way, and why they're there.

No. He did not.
Then who did?

If it's trolling, there's no MAY BE about it.

I have a feeling admin knows I'm being honest in presenting my beliefs ... just as I'm sure you are.

I would label the same bone as coming from a plagued person.
If you were a competent paleontologist you might be correct, but no competent paleontologist would label all Neanderthal fossils as sapiens that suffered from plague.

Did you ever read Leviticus?

The fatal flaw you have is you keep seeing Christianity as only an institution of man, and keep seeing everything in it, as man created.
You keep removing God
and I do mean it is a FATAL flaw.
until you see that, you are doomed to perish, eternally.
You failed to answer my question. Would you take the word of what constitutes sin from a Christian brought up in a different denomination than you?

I agree with you 100%, Frank.

If I were competent by the world's standards, I would not label all Neanderthal fossils as sapiens that suffered from a divine plague.

Would you hire someone who you knew would do that?

When I was in a position to hire people for my clinic I hired them for their education, training and experience, in most cases they performed well but there were a few that did not and they had to be let go.

and there it is... the real reason for believing in no God.
the attempt to avoid judgement even though your conscience tells you what you're doing is wrong and deserves punishment.

Not even close.
The fact that nothing I am doing is wrong. And no punishment is deserved...
Ought to be your first clue

My foot is fantastically designed just as is. It's not only perfect, but it's adaptable which is far better than perfect. Disabled people are also perfectly suited for their intended roles to play.

They are not intended as food for the lions.

Killing the disabled does seem a bit harsh, so you likely slid around that obstacle with your logic.
People do that.

You're letting man determine what's a crime and what is not, not God.
but it's the other way around.
God defines what is wrong and what is not wrong, not man.
So yes, what is sin is a crime, it's against the law of God.
Man exists. As does Man, and Man, and Man.
And Man, Man, Man, and Man, decided that some things were crimes, long before God was invented.
