But when you claim that some scientific theory that you don't like is bogus, you can't use scientific arguments to debunk it and still have credibility.

Wrong. It's the scientists who come up with ridiculous theories that lack credibility. When a self-proclaimed "scientist" proposes that our glands used to be gills just because they have "similarities," it diminishes the veracity of their methodology. The scientific method used by evolutionists is fundamentally flawed. They started with a conclusion that they view as indisputable, and then they try to mold the evidence to fit the conclusion.

It's no different than crime scene investigators showing up at a murder scene, and then proclaiming that they know for certain "who done it." Any investigation proceeding that conclusion will be an attempt to link the evidence to their suspect, instead of using the evidence to identify the culprit. This is the primary fallacy of the scientific method when applied to evolution theory. It's founded entirely on a conclusion that really has no evidence to support it.

YOUR interpretation of the Bible leads you to believe that evolution is bogus and you hold that on faith alone, so debating anything about the subject using science is pointless.

Evolution is just as much faith-based as a belief in God. There are certain things that cannot be explained by science. Our existance is at the top of that list. Using scientific method to explain our existance is like using astrology to explain intestinal cancer.

Did you know that the Theory of Evolution that explains the fact of evolution does not speculate about "our existence"?

Can you explain why creationists seem to argue only about Creation which is not in the Theory of Evolution to try to debunk evolution? Isn't that a little weird?
