There is little practical use for evolutionism.

I listed several in Post #128. I'm not going to do it again. You are blatantly incorrect, here. Talk to some scientists, and you'll realize you're wrong, here.

I do not believe radiometric dating to be an accurate discipline.

This one made me laugh out loud. I'll warn you that you're talking to someone who works with nuclear physics and statistics for a living and spare you the humiliation of addressing this point, unless, you want to prod me with a proverbial stick.

By and large that is correct. I operate with the biblical texts as primary truths, and all other texts and observations as secondary, or subservient, to those texts.

No, you operate with your own "infallible" interpretation of Biblical texts as primary truths, to the exclusion of any other possibility of their deeper meaning. Plenty of Bible-believing Christians of strong faith are able to accept evolution because they are not so arrogant in their interpretation when confronted by common sense.

By the way, since we're talking about the Bible, why not address one or two of the points I made about the Bible in Post #128, which already replies to the point you just wrote.

I'll warn you that you're talking to someone who works with nuclear physics and statistics . . .

That's great. I'm sure you do well at it, and have been an excellent student related to your discipline. I still don't think radiometric dating, as it applies to rocks, fossils, and the like, is accurate. I believe too many assumptions have been made, and that the procedure must be better refined.

I listed several [practical uses for evolution] in Post #128.

No. What you did was make several assertions that are not substantiated, and that could just as easily be attributed to someone who believes the universe was intelligently designed. You also continue to argue against something I am not arguing for, namely creationism as science. I've said it more than once: creationism is not science. Neither is evolutionism. Is that clear enough?

. . . why not address one or two of the points I made about the Bible in Post #128

Because your qualifications as a theologian are null and void. You neither believe nor understand that the Author of the biblical texts is the Creator Himself. You operate with your own reason and experience as a primary authority, so whatever I might say in reagrd to the biblical texts will fall on deaf ears, just as your attempts to hold forth evolutionism as science will fall on deaf ears on this side.
