1) Newton's theory has been refuted in part by Eisntein's theory of Gravity

Simply untrue. Einstein's research demonstrated that Newton's laws of motion break down at the quantum level.

Newton, of course, did not make any claim that his laws held subatomically - the notion of "refutation" is anachronistic.

there have been observations of evolution.

There have been observations of slight variations within species. There has never been an observation of the mutation of an entirely new species from another. The science of genetics is well-proven and replicable by experiment and accounts perfectly for such small variations that have been observed.

That's all.

In some cases the experiments are too long and too costly or just impossible to devise.

Would it be impossible or too long or too costly to breed an entirely new species of say, fruitfly, out of the old? I doubt it. I've personally been involved in genetic observation of several hundred generations of fruitfly over a period of months.

If evolution was replicable, it would have been replicated in the laboratory long ago.

As to the Bible, you better take it as symbolic, not as scientifically correct... Because it isn't!

So you claim.

If you argue that the Bible does not discuss physical phenomenon in the jargon of 21st century science you are trivially correct.

If you argue that the Bible does not accurately record historical fact in the vernacular of the ancient Jewish people, you are painfully mistaken.

False Assumption. There has never been proof that "species" are static and are not transitional forms from one species to another. There is no "entirely new species." All are in transition. This is what frightens you so, you are a transitional species. Not an end product. Only your hubris seeks to deny this fact.
