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

Killing the disabled does seem a bit harsh, so you likely slid around that obstacle with your logic. People do that.
What obstacle? There was no obstacle. Reality is reality

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.
I'll take that as a NO.

Not with respect to what we're talking about though.

Take Neanderthals for example.

Someone finds a jawbone and labels it as coming from a Neanderthal.

I would label the same bone as coming from a plagued person.

King David at one time, if he would have died before he repented would, in my opinion, and if his bones were dug up ... would probably be labeled as a Cro-magnon or Neanderthal.

Read Psalm 38, where -- in my opinion -- God plagued him accordingly.

Psalm 38:7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

Note what he says here:

Psalm 38:6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

He repents in Psalm 39 and requests healing:

Psalm 39:10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.

And God forgives him and heals him. :oldthumbsup:

Psalm 40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
We are all Cro Magnon. Thats what modern humans are

Only on paper.
Nope. Alas, long before paper was invented, we were Cro Magnon. Thats just the name of the place where the first fossils of fully modern humans were found. The valley of the river Cro Magnon, in France. We have since found earlier fossils in Africa.

I've already addressed this.

Did you ever read Leviticus?

I have and it actually goes to my point how utterly impossible it is for any man born on this planet to claim they have never sinned. People sin every single day, even the most religious.

That's why we need a savior.
Because it's impossible for us to live up to the law ourselves.

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?

No, because I only take 1 word for what is and isn't sin, that is the word of God. The bible.
anyone from any denomination claiming something is sin without scripture to back it up, is only guessing.

Any putting a child to death is just punishment for the crime of disobeying the parents.

Totally agree, it is impossible to live up to laws of Leviticus.

No, because I only take 1 word for what is and isn't sin, that is the word of God. The bible.

Same book same scripture.

Take it any way you want to.
I've asked this many times here, and it bears asking again:

What button, lever, switch, or dial can an unbeliever operate, that a believer can't?

Good question.
Here's another good one:

My ophthalmologist is a YEC.

How do you suppose he's able to stay in practice, in view of the fact that worldly science says it took the eye 364,000 years to evolve?

Nope. Try again.

As long as you hold this mindset, you are unsalvagable.
Because you are a sinner. I don't even have to know you personally, but I can tell you, you're a sinner.
Because there are none righteous, no, not one.

I am not a car in a ditch. I am a person.
And no, I am not a "sinner". If you knew me you could say something about me.

QV please:
The first organisms with a modification resembling an eye lived around 550 million years ago. According to one scientist’s calculations, if they eye improved just 0.005 percent each generation, it would take 364,000 years from eyes to evolve from a patch of light sensitive cells to the complex eyes we have today. And in a geological timeframe, that’s just a blink of an eye.

Even claiming one is without sin is a sin.

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Yes, John is talking to Christians here, but if Christians say they have no sin, think about the unregenerate who say the same thing.
