You cannot take the bible as a literal document. It was written by men, translated by men, and is a reflection of their beliefs and fears in that ancient time.

That just isn't going to work on an educated audience. You may as well try and convince us that the world is flat.

Evolution is a fact, and is still happening all around you today.

On what basis do you conclude that macroevolution is an historical fact?

Funny learned men were telling us the earth was flat long after the Bible was written. Isaiah 40:22 told us the earth was a sphere.

Just what have you seen evolve ? Evolution goes against the second law of thermodynamics . We are not gaining DNA we are losing it.

I’ll take the Bibles word a truth over that of some scientist with alter motive of gaining some funding.
So far none of those learned men who have set out to prove the Bible was false have succeeded in doing so.

My dad was a PHD who had trouble tying his shoelaces.
Learned men can be lacking in knowledge in many things.

Can God can speak creation into being, part the seas, send His inspired word to us through the ages and enter the world to die and rise from the grave? If not, is He or isn't He really God?

Maybe the God you worship is really just another god; perhaps you should learn about the God who is all powerful and omnipotent.

If you don't believe the authors were Divinely Inspired, I can see how you'd think that way. That's where Faith comes in.

I guess that depends on how you define 'educated'.

I'm more thinking, adaptation over evolution. but, ok. have it your way. how is the uniqueness of the precambian period explained, using evolution and only evolution? if precambian was an anamoly, what would be the odds of it occuring again? on any planet?
