What a bizarre rant. How can you say that "evos" demand Scripture be taken literally? Obviously, the evolutionary model doesn't describe a world in which there is a man and cattle but no woman. Evolution demands a different (some would say deeper) understanding of Scripture than that it's a simple narrative of events.
But we're told time and again here that evolution can't be true because it conflicts with that simple narrative. The people saying that have to go through all kinds of contortions to make the narrative consistent--oh, this verb must be in the pluperfect even though Hebrew doesn't have a pluperfect, and you have to believe the six days part but ignore that part about the world being a circle, and on and on. But they do, because they demand that everything in the Bible is to be taken literally. Meanwhile, plenty of "evos" explain how they take the Bible to be the "literal Truth" without being literally true.
And then you come along and claim exactly the opposite. Very bizarre.

You must have missed the dozens upon dozens of rants about the earth being 6000-10000 years old!
Matt Damon comes to mind when discussing Sarah Palin: “I need to know if she believes the earth is 6000 years old, because she’ll have access to nukes”.
Absolutely incredible!
