Ah, yes...when pressed, the creationist wheels out the heavy artillery: he repeats a contrary point or accusation and then delivers a mightily indignant, “Oh, yeah?”

Really, this is an issue of faith, and you’re not going to take my word for it that your faith is weak. I am a devout Christian and I believe that God would be most disappointed if we didn’t use the brains that he gave us to figure out how he got us here. Evolution is perfectly compatible with Christianity.

Just reflecting your arguments back to you. Apparently you thought them quite good when you proposed them but lacking when they came back to you almost verbatim. Interesting thought processes that the double-minded use.

I am a devout Christian and I believe that God would be most disappointed if we put the word of men over His Word that tells us how He got us here. (Do you get it yet?)

"Evolution is perfectly compatible with Christianity."

To say the evolution is perfectly compatible with Christianity is to say that faith in philosophical naturalism is perfectly compatible with faith in a supernatural creator. IOW, perfect nonsense.
