Case in point ;)

LOL, still giving the appearance you have a point? Why not give some details? On second thought, this is much safer for you....I mean we don't want to... remove all doubt. ;)

Show me how the the Theory of Evolution is compatible with concept of The God of Abraham as Creator - with more detail and explanation.

This can be done quite easily, depending on your interpretation of Genesis. You believe that God does not lie. This leads me to three conclusions:

1. Much or all of Genesis is meant as metaphor, and not to be taken literally. It's not a lie, it's basically a parable. A moral lesson rather than an account of actual events. In this case, there is no conflict with biologic evolution.

2. Genesis was not written by God, but by men. There can still be a God of Abraham, but Genesis was a fanciful tale that just didn't get the facts right. Again, no conflict with biologic evolution.

3. Genesis should be taken literally, and biologic evolution can't be reconciled with it. This is your current situation, based on your particular interpretation. There's no point asking for a detailed explanation of how they could work together, because they can't.

So from your point of view, God could not have created life through evolution?

God could not have created life through biologic evolution by definition. Evolution takes place after life comes into existence. Evolution is change in frequency of alleles in a population over time. You need a population of organisms for this to happen.

Of course, if an all-powerful God exists, then God could certainly have developed humans by means of evolution, after creating the first form of life in some manner.

And you've refused to respond to my actual point, guess not interested in actual conversations, you talk about being civil and refuse to respond to the points I make, I'm not a massive expert on the examples, I don't study every single article on them, but I can tell you how it works. But if your going to play games and not respond and then pretend you've won, I woen't play.

Hey hey brother :)

I disagree. I havent won anything and im not playing games.

This discussion is not working out and we both seem out of phase.

Please forgive me if i caused you any grief and i do not want to be your enemy. We are on the the same team, we just dont agree on certain theories.

God bless you my brother and stay strong in the Lord. :)

I didn't choose to chat about that section, I agreed to consider participating.

If you're looking for a fight, I suggest finding someone else.

Once again, I'm not your 'dear'. I don't know you and you don't know me. Please stop those specious pleasantries.

nahhh no stress at all, just find your kind of backhanded compliments, and snide rude comments while pretending to be nice quiet hilarious. I could see through you almost imediatly, your either a poe, a troll or someone that thinks he's some how superior to others and quiet happy to pretend to be nice while insulting. Bring some actual stuff to the conversation or it ends, not interested in games.

Seriously. They don't seem to realize how weird and creepy them keep coming across by doing that.

I could see through you almost imediatly,

Immediately!?! No you didnt my dear.

Nothing so mundane.

or someone that thinks he's some how superior to others and quiet happy to pretend to be nice while insulting.

Nah, that doesnt sound like me. :)

I did but we are on the wrong foot now and its all now in the mud.

Dont worry about, i disagree with you on evolution and you disagree with me.

I love you wish you no harm. I am.not your enemy.

Cheers

Particularly when it's done in a post full of supercilious snark.

There is nothing to disagree with here. I'm telling you how you and your posts are perceived by other people.

Excellent.

Thank you. I will shortly :)

Perhaps this is the wrong place for the kind of challenge you're looking for.

I agree, It has been quite dismal but lets give it one more try over the next couple weeks and see.

You and your friends are becoming motivated. Im loving how @SLP just came out with his 2 cents.

Hey @SLP

Cheers

Ps im making sure to upvote all of you. I know how much you evolutionists need validation and from each other hehe :D
