Creation vs. Evolution is not a valid opposition.

Freethinker, I did exactly that. I used to be a creationist, but upon learning more about the theory of evolution, and science in general, I came to the conclusion that a literal reading of Genesis cannot explain the world we live in.Now I notice that you didn't actually address anything in NosyNed's post. Would you actually like to engage in a discussion of evidence?

As I long as I have time I will try to correspond.

Why, since you believe that

No amount of arguing about these data is going to persuade you otherwise.

Since you have now labelled us as closed minded and unresponsive to argument, what do you get out of any continued discussion?

By that I mean gather all possible evidence and try to weigh it up, rather than impose a belief system upon selected evidence.

Well, let's see you gather some evidence and weigh it.

Do you want me to produce bones I have dug from the ground? Do you want me to quote from other people? Do you want me to perform some kind of experiment--if so, would you like to inspect the lab first to approve of its validity?

---

Oh, knock it off. You are the one who said that you collect evidence and weigh it. Don't get mad at me if you don't even understand what you meant.

Or we could try to use common sense. OOOppps will I get banned from this site for mentioning such profanity?

So, do you want to engage in a rational discussion of the topic, or do you just want to make witty comments?So, since you think you have something to say, either present some evidence that you think disproves evolution, or bring up some evidence that we use in favor of evolution and explain why you don't think it's convincing.

Maybe God created the first cell, about three and a half billion years ago. Then evolution produced the diversity of life we see around us.Does that take care of your objections?
