I have an earned doctorate in biology from a Tier-1 University and actually know something about the topic. Do you?

As to my tendency to “lie”, why don't you pick from the tenured Biology faculty of five or more Tier 1 Universities (e.g., Ivy League, Johns Hopkins, Duke, MIT, UC Universities, UVA, etc) and tell identify a few that are in your camp. Name names, tell us where they are employed, and their academic title. Your willingness and ability to provide such a list and its length, will tell us who is the “liar.” If an when you can actually produce a verifiable list of genuine scientists at places where the faculty actually do research YOU will have some credibility. By the way, if an when you actually know this crowd, you discover many believing and practicing Christians. You just don't find many that believe in the literal truth of a Bronze age fairy tale invented at some unknown point by an uneducated tribesman and passed down through generations of oral tradition, and rewritten by generations of fallible human beings.

You like generalities because you can shape them to fit your needs. Your standard of what a believing Christian is vastly different than mine. Those that do not believe detailed information in god’s word fall short for me.

The visible palpable face of planet Earth fits God’s word, and nothing else, so your dismissal of the word as a fairy tale tells me what I need to know to assess your credibility. If you’re trying to tell us that Godless men in high places have replaced the real scientists with their own ‘droids in recent years, you’re nothing but an echo; we know that, so what? Truth remains immutable, and your belief system is necessarily impenetrable.

No, I do not have a degree in biology, but I did run a water quality testing lab for several years as an adjunct to my many duties when I was providing engineering services for a group of county sanitation districts, for what it’s worth. The argument here is not biology in any way. Biology grinds on day by day, and evolution comes out of politics, bongs and needles.
