Nowhere does the theory of evolution in and of itself, espouse atheism.

It most certainly does!

Evolution says millions and millions of years. God says six normal 24 hour days.

Evolution claims to base it's years upon a fossil record of dead things in mud that accumulated over millions and millions of years. God says that there was no death of anything till 6,417 years ago.

Evolution says the grand canyon came about over millions and millions of years, God' word teaches that it came about via a world wide flood. and the examples go on and one and on.

Evolution denies God, denies God's word, and denies God's rules. Evolution claims that rights, laws, everything comes from man. The Bible teaches that these things come form God and that we will one day answer to Him regardless of whether one believes in Him or not. Hebrews 9:27.

You are dishonestly equating atheism with rejection of your particular brand of Christianity. Perhaps you should ponder the fate that you believe God has reserved for liars.

This alone tells me that the bible is no science book. And do you care to provide the scientific underpinning for "the sun stopping for a day" without invoking the 'miracle' word?

No, evolution may deny the existence of your personal brand of delusion.....but it does NOT deny the existence of a creator.

If you honestly believe that no animal became extinct before 6000 years ago, there is no amount of evidence, logic, or reality that could penetrate your halo of ignorance.

False dichotomy. Your personal religious beliefs regarding the timespans for divine action are not the only religious beliefs out there. Not everyone who does not hold the exact same religious beliefs as you is an atheist.

Evolution claims to base it's years upon a fossil record of dead things in mud that accumulated over millions and millions of years. God says that there was no death of anything till 6,417 years ago.

Once again, false dichotomy. You are presenting a false dilemma between your religious worldview and no religious worldview at all. The existence of other religions shows that your "reasoning" is fallacious.

Evolution says the grand canyon came about over millions and millions of years, God' word teaches that it came about via a world wide flood. and the examples go on and one and on.

In addition to again appealing to your religion as the only possible religion, you are now employing a strawman on the side of evolution. Evolution says nothing whatsoever regarding the formation of the Grand Canyon.

Evolution says the grand canyon came about over millions and millions of years, God' word teaches that it came about via a world wide flood. and the examples go on and one and on.

You're just another arrogant creationist. Belive it or not, evolution is not all about you or your religion. It's not the fault of reality that observations within reality contradict your religious beliefs, and to label observations that contradict your religious beliefs as "promoting athiesm" is the height of arrogance. Believe it or not, there are non-atheists who don't believe exactly as you do.

I missed the Bible passage that says that the Grand Canyon was formed in the Flood. Perhaps you can point it out to me, or perhaps you are just made it up?

No He doesn't. He said Adam and Eve would die. You're reading your ridiculous pseudoscience back into your Bible.

BTW, you never answered me from a previous thread. How does this "no death of anything" stuff actually work? You realize animals can't grow, develop, or even ultimately remain alive and functional without cells dying?

God' word teaches that it [the Grand Canyon] came about via a world wide flood.

Again, no it doesn't. It was the writings of the self-proclaimed "prophet" Ellen G. White, founder of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, which taught that the Genesis flood was geologically significant and responsible for the deposition of fossils; and it was the belief in the inerrancy of her writings that was directly responsible for the formulation of modern "flood geology" by Seventh Day Adventist George McCready Price in the 1920's, which was later popularized among fundamentalists generally by Henry Morris and others in the 1960's and 70's.

The Bible says NOTHING about fossils or the geological effects of the flood. Anything on that matter is being read back into the Bible based on the "theories of man". What little the Bible does say is, at the very least, consistent with a tranquil flood that had little or no geological effects. For instance the Bible refers to some of the same place names (e.g. the Euphrates River, IIRC) both before and after the flood.
