Creationism is a belief in an ancient desert goat herding nomadic myth. Nothing more.
It is clear that you do not understand the concept of the God of the Bible. You continue to try to build a strawman. There is a difference between a metaphor and a paradigm. Science like the Bible is based on paradigms that are exact and literal.

The bible is a lot of things, but literal is not one of them.

Evolution is full of missing links that evolutionists draw lines over and expect us to agree.
There is a tree of life. Then there is evolutionist's counterfeit and forgery. If you do not study what is real then you can not identify what is a counterfeit and a forgery.

Yes, as a shadow and a type the Bible is very exact and very literal. Jesus is a pattern for us to follow. He came to live His life as an example for us to follow.

So, a shadow is a literal person, now?

BTW, why do you feel the need to live like someone else?

Demonstrate what is "real" with evidence.

The evidence favors evolution by means of natural and sexual selection.

The more complexity science finds the less likely things evolved, and the more likely special creation occurred. Evolution, as presented to the general public, is woefully lacking in revealing just how complex things really are, and the astronomical odds against it ever happening.

It's as if I only have your posts to go on. ;)

My posts are usually intended to provoke deeper thought. :preach:
Sadly (for others) I'm not having much success. :(

My posts are usually intended to provoke deeper thought. I'm seldom direct.
I don't consider arguments from incredulity to provoke thought, but rather I consider you've stopped trying to improve your understanding.
You may have more success being direct.

I think what AofD wants to know is:

Why did you give up:
  1. the joy of your salvation - (Psalm 51:12)
  2. God's goodness - (Psalm 34:8)
  3. enlightenment - (Hebrews 6:4)
  4. a taste of the heavenly gift - (Hebrews 6:4)
  5. partaking of the Holy Ghost - (Hebrews 6:4)
  6. the good word of God - (Hebrews 6:5)
  7. the power of the world to come - (Hebrews 6:5)
... to embrace a godless discipline?

Especially since Paul warned us that embracing evolution and professing ourselves [Homo] sapiens can lead to atheism - (Romans 1:22).
