>>Your reply is tasteless and empty. <<

My response: LOL! That is the only possible response.

>>Human Evolution has done nothing for science and never will. <<

You really need to crack open a book or a magazine someday. Your belief or lack thereof doesn’t change facts. Putting your hand over your eyes does not make the sun go away.

>>I use the standard interpretation for the Bible that was translated by individuals more qualified than both of us. God said he formed Adam in His image, he did not evolve him from animals. <<

There are many many interpretations — King James is probably the least accurate. “Standard interpretations” are just that — interpretations. People who understand these things know about the debate on how literally the Bible — and Genesis in particular — can be taken. “Yom” alone gives scholars trouble and is wide open for interpretation by the reader, and thus the translator. In your own words, you use the word “formed.” That word alone, in its vague translation, is open to interpretation. By your own admission, there is no such thing as a literal interpretation of the Bible. But there is a lazy one.

>>To change the subject into a “I hate Catholics” post is insulting and shows how much of a child you are. If you want to attack my beliefs then I understand, but to make up me hating Catholics is pathetic. If this is the way you have debates about topics, then count me out.<<

You dodge the issue. You say that people who understand TToE and find it completely compatible with Christianity are hateful. Well, that would be Catholics according to doctrine (as well as many others).

Now you are the one who must reconcile your words with their implications. Words have meaning. Your words specifically state your position and that position is anti-Catholic (and anti-science but one thing at a time).

You can feel free not to respond, but you will be on public record as being anti-Catholic until you can clearly and cleanly state how your position — as stated in your tag line and thus repeated every time you post — is not.

And I notice you avoided my note that you (and your ilk) continue to have the arrogance to define who is and isn’t a proper “Christian.” That is a heck of an ego you got there.

"My response: LOL! That is the only possible response."

Tasteless and empty does seem to be your only possible response.

"Putting your hand over your eyes does not make the sun go away."

Apparently you place your hands over your eyes when you read Genesis and view the phony evidence Human Evolutionists provide for their so-called theory of Human's evolving from animals.

"By your own admission, there is no such thing as a literal interpretation of the Bible. But there is a lazy one."

So is John 3:16 mistranslated? Or what about Jesus' birth, was that mistranslated? Or His resurrection, was that mistranslated? What about the story of Jacob and Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Paul, Peter, were their stories mistranslated? The path you go down is one lead by Satan himself and it is one I will not follow you down.

"Now you are the one who must reconcile your words with their implications. Words have meaning. Your words specifically state your position and that position is anti-Catholic (and anti-science but one thing at a time)."

Here you are again back to your old tricks. You're obsession with Catholic hatred makes me think that you may have some hatred in your heart for them. I have never said anything of the sort about hating Catholics, you are the one who is obsessed with hatred towards them. I love science, and just because you say that I hate it proves and means nothing.

"And I notice you avoided my note that you (and your ilk) continue to have the arrogance to define who is and isn’t a proper “Christian.” That is a heck of an ego you got there."

You ought to know arrogant, you think you can re translate the Bible and change the creation story in Genesis. That is the definition of arrogance. If you want to manipulate the Bible and make it say whatever you want to, then you have the right to do it. However, you will do so with my descent and opposition as I stand by God's Word and what He said in Genesis as I will now and for all eternity.
