God never told you anything.

the bible was taken down by men and sometime written down decades and centuries after they were suppose to have happened. You give a lot of credit to sandle wearing sheep herders, that they took down word to mouth stories that were handed down for centuries at being acurately.

A little more thought went into the bible’s canonization than you let on. Look up the Councils of Carthage sometime.

Jesus accepted and quoted Scripture as inspired. He quoted as inspired every book in the Old Testament, as a matter of fact, except Song of Solomon, according to biblical scholars.

Of course, if you don’t think God gave us His Word, inerrant and inspired, you can believe anything. I’d rather someone (like you) admit they don’t believe the Bible is the Word of God, rather than pretend that they believe the Bible is the Word of God but believe in evolution, anyway.

If we reject Scripture as authoritative, we must find alternatives, hence evolution and other ideas. Theories rush into the vaccuum.

Nice strawman.

...not to mention our enlightened MODERN society, with instantaneous electronic communications, still managed to get Obama elected.

Cheers!

You’re either a liar, a fool, or both.
