Imagine my first impression of a fellow that actually asked if you can interrupt evolution (and then gravity).First impressions are simply the instinct first presented to a potential mate, that help define the relationship in a way that develops a stronger union between the two.
But you're impressed with the bible tales? Interesting.I was dazzled by evolution when I was first introduced to it in 8th grade biology (first impression). However as I grew older I became less impressed. It's like meeting a beautiful girl for the first time who is primped and made up to impress, only to see her later without the revealing apparel and makeup.
Sure, but can you interrupt the forbidden fruit?Let's focus on just this: I said "Without the forbidden fruit, no one would ever have developed the theory of Evolution?"
The forbidden fruit which gave knowledge of good and evil? Ok, let's look closely at that. ToE is supported by evidence, matches reality and makes useful predictions. Most people would consider that to be "good". Creationism has no evidential support, denies reality and makes no useful predictions. Now, I won't call that "evil" but it certainly isn't "good". So perhaps you should be looking a lot closer at your side of the debate to understand where it places you in the whole good/not good scheme of things. After all, if you want to rely on biblical stories for your support you need to accept that they can cut both ways.Let's focus on just this: I said "Without the forbidden fruit, no one would ever have developed the theory of Evolution?"
If organically produced descant singers don't elide participles, they can't achieve plastic deformation of primate tibia?If Evolution doesn't mate, it can't perpetuate the species?
Yes. That's why we call it change.Change over generations is supposed to make an impression??
Evolution has many hundreds of monographs, thousands of text books, tens of thousands of researchers, hundreds of thousands of research projects and millions of research articles on the topic. Dismiss it at your peril.Creation has a whole book on the subject and you dismiss it???
That's a very grandiose claim. Last time I read the bible Creation had just 2 chapters of Genesis. Or are you talking about a non-biblical creation story?Creation has a whole book on the subject and you dismiss it???
I think a more reasonable reading is that Jacob encouraged the spotted and striped traits... which is completely reasonable example of evolution as a random trait became an advantage withing the very specific environment of being looked after by Jacob.
Evolution would be demonstrably true if life spontaneously came from non life; it would would be true if God specifically crafted the first life and let it go; it would even be true if God created the modern animals 6000 years ago.\

I'm happy to assess aspects of creation... but it has to make internal sense.
Define moral people.
What's that?Moral people are people who more or less follow the Silver Line, in principle.
The Theory of Evolution doesn't mention god and it's only your opinion that the bible holds some truths.This is I think what is muddling the whole theory of Evolution, for me: you just don't know where, in what way, under what pressure, Evolution is happening?
What you have stipulated here, changes the story completely, depending on what God is or is not doing.
I think what is happening here, is that we are beginning to learn to keep each other accountable.
Actually I would prefer it, if you showed me how you keep Evolutionists accountable - without involving Creationists? Creationists keep each other honest, by referring to the Bible, specifically the words of Jesus, for which no greater Wisdom can be aired.
What's that?
The ToE is not a belief, it's a scientifically proven truth.When you believe in Evolution, what trait is there: that is a sign to other Evolutionists, that you are walking the path of Evolution?
Or Quetzalcoatl.The notion that being partially right, most of the time, is moral.
There is no need to follow an exact set of rules or answer in a particular way - what is important is that you are adding to your moral faith, from Day to Day.
If you need help with that, you can pray to the Holy Spirit.

I'm sorry I said The theory of Evolution, I thought you had heard of it?The theory of Evolution does deal with God (search "suffering" on this page) .
As for the Bible containing truths, my opinion is based on my experience that they have never been anything other, than true.
My morality vastly exceeds that purported in the bible, I need no excuses since I'm not afraid of death, I'm not a christian IOW.If you feel it is impossible to be moral, that is your business.
I have simply pointed out, that you are without excuse.
