Ok- I am not going to go throogh the reasons why evolution contradicts the bible.
Evolution only contradicts the YEC literalist interpretation of the Bible.
I wanted an answer- a serious one.
You got a serious answer. Races are due to evolutionary adaptation. If you are going to reject that outright, you shouldn't have posted anything.
things didn't evolve slowly over time- the earth was created with age imbedded into it to support life-
This is called the Omphalos argument, and it doesn't work. The Earth doesn't just have age embedded by your reasoning, it has 4.5 billion years of observable history. The Earth is scarred due to events that could have never occured in the past 6,000 years. Not to mention, the Earth doesn't require 4.5 billion years to support life, so it seems awfully odd that that is the amount of "age emedded". To claim age is embedded means God deceived humanity since we can observe the Earth and universe and see that it was not created 6,000 years ago.
and the life that it supported came in the form of Adam and Eve- real modern day homosapiens- not primatives or other ape-like creature.
Where does the Bible say Adam and Eve were 21st Century humans?
Don't want to offend anyone- but am not wanting to hear ridicoulus answers- I wanted an answer based on a biblical perspective.
The Biblical perspective answer is the ridiculous one. You were given the observed, rational answer, but you seem to not like it.
You may say evolution is biblical- but the bible is to be taken literally.
So you agree that the Earth is the center of the solar system, sits on top of pillars, is flat, has 4 corners, and has a solid dome above it? If the Bible is to be taken literally, so must the Biblical view of the world.
