"But that discussion doesn't belong in a science class."
As it is a competitve theory of origins it does belong right beside evolution.
"(although I am curious where Christ spoke directly about Adam and Eve as historical people -- please provide a citation)."
Luke 3:38
Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
Mark 10:30
But from the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female.' 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh.
"So you made him up."
You would like to believe that. He is very real. And I will not post his name or any other personal info. I wouldn't post my own name on this board.
"And it still has nothing to do with the subject at hand."
That is your opinion. I disagree.

Creationism is *not* a scientific theory, and ID is no better. And theology, fine... but it belongs in science class as much as "Bush sure sounded like Hitler last night" belongs in geography class.
Creation myths are NOT competitive theories, any more than angels holding airplanes aloft in their hands is a "competitive theory of aerodynamics."
Luke 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
You should be ashamed of yourself for misusing/misquiting scripture! That is NOT Jesus talking, it is tracking back Jesus' lineage. And as I have said, many believe the Bible to be more allegorical than factual. This passage links the Old and New Testemant and is important Biblically. It does not establish some sort of rule that says that one cannot be a Chrisitan Evo (although one must ask what kind of Christian misquotes scripture to make a point)
The Mark quote also doesn't say Adam and Eve by name
I will leave your imaginary friend out of it.

You can disagree until the cows come home. You can also assert the sky is green or that Liberals have brains. Your opinion changes facts not a whit.
We are talking about CRIDers/Evos and he was talking about his specific desire to make sure those who work on him to have the proper scientific tools. That is the fact. Your opinion doesn't change it at all.
