We, who are Born Again Washed in the Blood of the lamb Christians, who believe that God tells us the truth via His Bible, even have a picture of what eternity is and what it is like thru Genesis 1-11. Why is it so ignored by non Christians and liberal Christians? Why do so many refuse to read it, learn from it, take it literally and obey it?
I think the answer to that is simple. We are afraid. We are afraid of being called bumpkins, fools, stupid, and other such names, for the intellectual knows that God created nothing, that we all came from nothing, nothing that somehow became something.
Then that nothing that became something all came together in a spot smaller than the a period on this page, and that period was spinning and spinning and spinning like millions and millions of miles an hour, and suddenly BANG, it exploded and then over millions and millions of years a rock developed and some acid rain fell on it and out of that mess of rock and acid rain came a lizard and from that lizard came a monkey and from that monkey came man and from that rock came a dinosaur and from a dinosaur came a gold finch. And they call us nuts? And you are afraid of them calling us nuts?
Your turn.
why are you making the false statement that cosmology (the Big Bang theory) and abiogenesis (the development of self-replicating living things from non-living chemical components) are integral parts of the Theory of the Origin of Species (through mutation and selection) aka "the ToE"?
Why do you falsely state that the ToE holds high-taxa saltation to be necessary (even possible... a hint: such saltation is ruled out by the ToE)?

"To believe that everything came from nothing, that non life gave way to life, requires much more faith than to believe that In the beginning God created everything in six 24 hour days. So, by default evolution is a religion since it requires blind, unprovable, unscientific faith."
Luckily, Evolution has nothing to do with the creation of matter.
"And they call us nuts? "
:)
God creates hurricanes "from nothing". God makes the rain fall "from nothing". God makes the water magically "flow down to the ocean".
Of course we also have scientific explanations for those things, but did not God "create" them?
All this is a matter of semantics. The evidence God left us in His creation gives ample evidence that a tool scientists call "evolution" created the various species. You call the tool "creation". There's really no difference, except the unfortunate "days" text in Genesis that has confused you.
If you believe that God gave you the Bible, and also created the world around us, then by definition the two cannot conflict. The evidence God left, a lot of evidence by the way, tells us that the universe and the earth is many billions of years old. Since Gods creation and Gods word cannot conflict, then your interpretation of Genesis must be the problem.
