I understand that taking a superior attitude is a helpful tactic when you're playing a bust hand.

I presented irrefutable Biblical data that God created Adam and Eve as mature adults. If you refuse to see it, how can I trust your judgment regarding the data associated with the Theory of Evolution?

No amount of facile quote mining stands up as modern scientific evidence.

Correct me if I am wrong. You believe there is no discussion to have on this topic because the modern scientific evidence leaves no room for dispute? There are a lot of greater minds than ours engaging in a heated debate on this topic. I will even acknowledge that the Theory of Evolution is not fully idiotic if one forces oneself to totally disregard a supernatural intelligent designer. But in so doing, the totality of reality is not on the table. Jesus' resurrection ends that possibility.

Jhn 2:18-22
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

All you have "irrefutably proved" is that the bible says what it says, in the particular places you chose to look.

Well, fortunately, when it comes to science, we don't treat what amounts to 3-card-monti with the meaning of words and phrases as serious evidence, we look at tangible, material evidence, and invite anyone who takes the time and trouble to seriously look, to draw their own conclusions.

Irrefutable data? You feel that quoting the Bible is irrefutable data? The Bible is nothing more than an allegorical text. A work of fiction. An attempt to pass on a specific culture's morals and parables. It is not on the same level as any science text.
