The logical implication of the statement is that if you believe Darwin, you don't believe God is truthful if you believe in him at all.

Er, no. It means that you don't believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis. There are those who believe that Genesis was a metaphor, those who believe that Genesis was authored by lowly humans and not the divine God and those who believe that Genesis is a myth from someone else's religion, and not at all inspired by the God that they worship, who has an entirely different holy text to call His own.

Once again, you fall to the fallacy of assuming that your religious beliefs are the only possible religious beliefs.

. Either God picked up the dust of the earth and from it crafted man as scripture says, or man evolved at long last from a puddle of goo that somehow spontaniously turned into life where none previously existed,

Evolution doesn't say this. Evolution says nothing whatsoever regarding the means by which the first life forms came to exist.

then shapeshifted and changed to become a monkey one day, then turned magically into a man

And this is certainly not what evolution says either.

No, I have fallen to no fallacy. I've watched broken limbs be healed. I've seen people I'd known for years to be blind see for the first time. I know what I follow. And I don't care what anyone thinks about it. Again, other beliefs are beliefs. Hundreds if not thousands of people had theories about flight, in the end, it was a pair of brothers that got it right to the exclusion of all else. The belief of the crowd is more important - right. The Wright brothers must be quacks because they could do it because they were the few when everyone else believed something better and different, nevermind nobody else could fly, many even died or just got all wet in the trying, but, those tedious little quacks that actually know something are so danged bothersome..

You want to question the scriptures, that's a whole lot different than arguing God and Darwinism. Now you're arguing, instead, Concepts of God vs. Darwin. Different subject. Watch out folks, argument sunk, time to move the goalposts. Yep, this is an evolution thread afterall..
