"Well, your friends know nothing at all about the bible, but it doesn't keep them from lecturing those of us who do, about its fine points"

At the moment we are discussing evolution, not the finer points of the Bible.

If I were to make a comment about a specific interpretation of a passage from the Bible you would have every right to blast me for my hubris and I would expect you to do so. But if someone tries to distort physics or geology or another discipline through the use of the Bible and I call them on it, I wouldn't expect to be chastised.

ah, but are they discussing evolution?

or just laying bait to cause controversy with religious people who dont like seeing their beliefs and their values attacked and ridiculed?
