There you go.

Talking about Hawking again.

Stephen Hawking was the most influential know-it-all. In his 1988 mega-bestseller A Brief History of Time, Hawking predicted that physicists would soon find an “ultimate theory” that would explain how our cosmos came into being. He compared this achievement to knowing “the mind of God.” This statement was ironic. Hawking, an atheist, wanted science to eliminate the need for a divine creator.

1 Timothy 6:20-21 KJV

"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen."

I would say he believed in a fraud, .just like Adam and Eve, they also bought the sales pitch. Anyone open to taking it upon themselves to offer ideas outside of Biblical truth, will be offering up fraudulent ideas in areas of creation.

Oh it is evidence just like you claim is evidence. Because either you are or you are not 6,6 tall, so either your claim is false evidence or true evidence.
Saying something may or may not be true is not evidence. Anything may or may not be true. o_O

Well science has sure taken advantage of this.

There is no difference in The Bible saying Jesus rose from the grave. And science saying 10 billions years ago this brown rock was green.

Still waiting for the evidence of the claims of the Bible.

Will I have long to wait? How long do you think you will take? Will it be long? It's going to be a long time isn't it?

This refers to knowledge of the scriptures whether he was speaking of those who claimed special gift knowledge, like the apostles had, or the Gnostics. Both of these groups were guilty of claiming knowledge they didn't have and misleading Christians if they could. Teaching a false gospel.

I'm not understanding how God creating new life forms through the process of evolution is fraudulent. That makes no sense to me.

The claim is not evidence.. The evidence would be an actual measurement of his height.

1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

Nope. Cannot see how pointing out that Darwin wasn't a fraud applies to that verse from the Bible. Try again.

No. i am saying that is how The Bible works on faith and that is also how science works on faith. It is just that people of science will not admit they work on faith. But instead claim it is evidence.

Maybe you have never read where God created male and female. No where in The Bible is it stated God created life by a process of evolution. If a person claims God created by the process of evolution. They are calling God a liar and the account in The Bible a lie.
