Then again, the literal interpretation of Genesis is already eviscerated by the scientific evidence. My point being that just because a God is proven to exist would hardly make the overwhelming evidence supporting the theory of evolution vanish. It would merely indicate that the God which exists is some God other than the one you imagine to exist.

Boy that sounds so similar to the creationist argument that no level of "proof" could convince them of their error, because they are just CERTAIN that they are correct.

If there is an all-powerful God, there is absolutely NOTHING known of evolution that can't completely be explained by God's actions, or that would be incompatable with a reading of a literal 6-day creation.

If God can create a human female out of a rib, He can create all the evidence of "evolution" needed to test the faith of his people.

I'm not arguing that He did, or He needs to, or even whether or not there is a reason to think it would have been done. I'm merely noting that your statement is inaccurate in the face of an all-powerful God.

There is nothing known of evolution that would be incompatible with the notion that God created the entire universe Last Thursday, but there's no scientific evidence to support the notion.

A literal 6-day creation is incompatible with Genesis 2:4-7.

4 ... When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens- 5 and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground- 7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

The "literal 6-day creation" story says that plants were created first. Which literal story is true?

Why would He create false evidence? Did He not command us not to bear false witness? Why would He bear false witness against Himself?

I have asked these questions on crevo threads before and never received an answer.
