Philosophical? 4-5 billion humans today say, "nope."

And the evidence for such a statement? I thought so. Regardless, if popularity were the indicator of truth, the sun would actually revolve around the earth.

Metaphysical? you win that one, as science stays away from all things metaphysical.

Science only claims it stays away. Perhaps you deny that the concept of eternal when applied to matter is not in the realm of the metaphysical. Perhaps quintillions of stars pressed into the size of an atom is hard science. And maybe even the mythical dark matter has been studied under a microscope. Naa. Science stays away from the metaphysical... when convenient.

Evidential? Again, the Genesis account fails rather miserably.

This seems to be a unit of information that most of you have not been able to absorb: Evolution is a Swiss cheese theory regardless of Genesis. Evolution ain't science regardless of Genesis. Evolution defies logic regardless of Genesis.

Ok, my numbers may be off by a relative few, but you can hardly argue the billions of non Jews and non Christian would have "philosophical" differences with the genesis account.

Your "metaphysics" retort is curious. Again I must point out to you a bit of basic biology: Evolution (the subject of this thread) does not deal with dark matter, eternity, or the big bang. I am not an expert in physics or astronomy, nor do I pretend to be. There is "theoretical physics" and there is "metaphysics." Learn the difference.

Evolution is a Swiss cheese theory regardless of Genesis. Evolution ain't science regardless of Genesis. Evolution defies logic regardless of Genesis.

I, too, am still trying to decipher Abacab, and as for Susudio... I've given up. Anyway, for a "swiss cheese theory" it is certainly doing a fantastic job standing up to the fringe nuts such as yourself.
