> "Incorrect. What physical mechanisms did God use? Lay out the specifics in detail."

> I've got volumes of books on different theories ...

None of which are contained in Genesis. Face it: Genesis is vague.

> believe in evolution even though it defies the very laws of science

That's the common Creationist lie, yes. But it remains a lie, no matter how many times repeated.

> Admit you don't believe what God has stated.

I don't believe much of what the Bible says as being literal fact. Whether God "said" what's in the Bible is another discussion entirely.

> You are not a "heretic".

That's because I'm not a Christian and do not claim to be. hwoever, in your dark little world, anyone who claims to be both an evolutionist and a Christian is a heretic.

> We are talking about Genesis, not the Good Samaritan or parables.

And the difference is? Was God's stenographer disallowed from lying in Genesis, but it was OK for Jesus to do so? Why are parables OK in the NT but not the OT?

> six literal twenty four hour days

A great many CHristians disagree with you on the literalness of those 6 days. Since that is manifestly refuted by the natural record, it can be written off as either parable, misunderstanding, or a different definition of what a day is.

> you don't believe what the Bible states very clearly about Creation.

The Bible states very little clearly about the creation of the universe, Earth and life. It says little more than "God did it." that is not helpful in any fashion. Imagine trying to learn how to drive a car, build a car, maintain a car with no more instruction than "Henry Ford did it."

I see what you root problem is.

To the contrary, my world is not dark. I have peace and contentment and much to look forward to.

If you ever want to have that - e-mail me privately and I can elaborate.

As for "Christians" believing in evolution, that is an oxymoron. You cannot believe in both. Two opposing views cannot be true at the same time - the law of non contradiction steps in ... .
