If evolution is true, we don't have problems.

The context of Mark 10:2-9 is a discussion about divorce, not about the creation of human beings. The creation of male and female is used as an explanation for a man's leaving his father and his mother to cleave to his wife and as a ground for forbidding divorce: 'What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.'

Jesus was quoting from Genesis, showing why marriage is one women to one man because that was how God created it to be in the first place, with Adam and Eve.

And bore the pants off all the non-Christians here with pages of discourse which they would only find tedious? If you really want to know, join a Traditional Christian church. See, I don't care if you believe in a literal Genesis or not. If you think you need to in order to hold on to your faith then that's what you should do. What I object to are the vicious lies so often directed by creationists at those Christians who don't need it. That they have "denied the Bible" and are not really Christians, that they reject Original Sin (that was yours), monstrosities of that sort. You don't own the Christian religion or the Bible and are no position to dictate to other Christians what they must believe about it. According to the rules of this forum, a Christian is one who assents to the tenets of the Nicene Creed, and that should be an end to the matter.

You don't have one to outline.

I am a member of a recognized church and it teaches literal Genesis as it should.

Of course he did. He not only quoted directly from Genesis he told us to believe what Moses wrote.

So what? How does that justify belief in a literal Genesis?

Have one what?

So am I, and mine does not. And so long as you can keep a civil tongue and not not tell lies about what my church and other recognized churches believe about the Bible we should get along just fine.
