Because I have a few hours of free time today, and this is an interesting subject.
Was hoping to save time by including everyone in one post.
angryoldfatman: "If all the people who you’ve dedicated so much time and effort to rebutting here are indeed dead wrong about how biodiversity occurred, what harm does it do?"
If it were just a trivial matter, then nobody would bother posting repeatedly about it, and yet they do.
Why? Obviously because they think it's very important.
My goal is simply to defend the Christianity and modern science I began learning as a child.
I don't consider them at war against each other, and don't like seeing either distorted.
How about you?
When did God create all His souls/spirit intellect... God had Moses pen that after he form the man Adam, God breathe the breath of life, which means ‘soul’ in to that flesh body that made it ‘alive’. The soul/spirit intellect that returns to the Maker that sent it, sure are not part of the evolutionary fairy tail/tale. This flesh age has a time stamp that ends this flesh age, when the last soul/spirit intellect, agrees to take this flesh journey.

Well, I personally don’t know of anything interesting enough to make a comment of that size, and definitely not trying to answer everyone in the thread.
What’s interesting to me is how intensely interesting it is to you. I’m trying to understand that intensity and what drives it.

That’s not what I asked, BroJoeK. I asked, if they were wrong, what harm would that do?
Let’s say for some reason you’re not here to tell them how wrong they are.
What harm would come from that?

Is this goal of yours achievable? If so, is using an abrasive tone (i.e., calling any doubt of it “rubbish and nonsense, blathering, denier”) an effective way of doing so?
As an aside, do you defend Christianity at atheistic evolution blogs and message boards like you defend your views of science here? If not, why not? Is that not part of your stated goal?

We’ve strayed far from the original topic of the Flood, but in that context I’ve stated my position upthread. Let me repeat it for you so you don’t have to scroll up and search a bunch:
“No worries, it wasn’t a “reliance”, it was something I am keenly interested in, that being how do people reconcile seemingly impossible positions.
The supposedly impossible position in this case was reconciliation of the Flood story with the current scientific theories of geology.
I’m agnostic to this particular subject; it doesn’t really matter to me whether or not the current scientific theories are correct or the Flood story is 100% literally accurate. I have to work, pay bills, love my family, and do what my God tells me is right. What Noah did or what some ape did thousands or millions of years ago doesn’t affect me except by example.”
“My answer? It doesn’t directly affect me in my day-to-day life exactly what Adam did, or Cain did, or Abel did. The only thing I can do is try to learn lessons about how to conduct myself from such stories. I’m not always successful, but neither am I perfect, so it is what it is.”
