Exactly. It's amazing how even Christians get duped by what is probably Satan's most successful campaign of lies ever. To be clear, there is no conflict between real science and the Bible, but even if there was, I'll take the Word of an everlasting God EVERY time over the speculations and conjectures of ever-shifting mankind. If it weren't so incredibly tragic in that it causes countless lost souls, the notion of twisting what God said with perfect clarity, to make it fit the silliness of evolution would be utterly laughable.

The Bible never changes. Evolution changes constantly. Every time a new piece of evidence comes to light that disproves some long-held tenet, a brand new series of conjectures is whipped up and put into place to make it fit once more.

It's still sad, but it's also understandable when unbelievers fall for it. After all, the Bible prophesied ages ago that truth would sound like foolishness to those who are blind in unbelief. As long as they choose to remain in that state, their minds are incapable of seeing the truth of the Bible. But for Christians to join the secular world in the destruction of scripture in order to look "enlightened," in order to fit in and be thought "smart," is purest tragedy.

It's as if they're saying, "Sure, God, I know you're timeless and omnipotent and all-knowing and all that good stuff. And I know you wrote down your version of what happened and all, but sheesh, God, your version just doesn't match up with what this old man came up with 150 years ago when he looked at some bird beaks, so I figure you either mis-remembered what really happened, or that old goofball Moses wrote it down wrong or something. So, thanks for all that torture and dying stuff You went through for me, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to go with what the really smart people say on this issue."

That is because the Bible is the plan of our salvation and the deposit of faith; whereas evolution is a scientific theory which is subject to amendment on the basis of presented evidence.

The truth about our origins is unchanging, as we explore the available evidence we can get closer to it. A better analogy than yours would be to say that there is a truth about our origins which we can explore; as we dig further and experiment further we get closer. Similarly the Bible is truth, but a comparative stage would be the early Church before the Bible's canon had been set. There people moved among the various texts, and finally the Holy Ghost inspired the Church to define the 70-odd books which we call the Bible.

Well, yes. This is how science works. Scientists propose a theory to explain certain phenonmenon. When more evidence comes to light, the theory changes to fit the new evidence. You seem to be saying that this is a weakness of science, but in fact, it is why the scientific method is accepted by almost everyone. This would seem to be a much better method than forcing facts to conform with a book written long ago by people who didn't have access to the scientific knowledge we have today.
