So are you claiming that the Bible lies but mankind in all his scientific splendor does not (nay can not) lie - at least not when a consensus is reached amongst the bright and intelligent professors of their own self-learned/self-taught ways?

Please re-read my posts. I said nothing about the Bible lying. I also stated that a scientific theory and scientific facts are modified when new information is found. Science doesn't lie. Its facts may need correction at times, and this correction is done by experiment or the discovery of new data. 'Lie' implies an intentional deception and a real scientist would not do that about scientific knowledge.

My posts were not to take sides, but the show the lack of understanding of the terms "theory" and "hypothesis". This has nothing to do with the Bible.

My assumption was in regarding your views as evolution being true. Please accept my apologies if your truth lies with the Bible rather than evolutionary theories. They (the Bible vs Evolution) are not complimentary to each other regardless of numerous folks who post here declaring otherwise...

Some do lie. Many cherry pick data to support their pet theory. And some are delusional.

They are human and put their pant legs on one at a time.
