>>Neither Christ nor Moses ever said a single word about science as we understand it.
You are remarkably unlearned. Moses outlined the creation process, the global flood, the dividing of the nations by language, and finally the dividing of the earth. Christ told us that man and woman were created at the beginning of creation.
What else do you need? The endorsement of an atheist?

>>What you here call “pseudo-science” is, in fact, real science, natural-science by definition, and there is no other recognized definition for science. Natural-science, by definitions, does not deal in words like “belief”, “faith” or “truth”, but rather in confirmed observations (=”facts”) and falsifiable explanations (=”hypotheses” or “theories”).
Basic evolution is a well-confirmed theory based on literal mountains of confirmed observations.”
There are no observable facts supporting the religion of evolutionism. It is strictly faith-based.
*******************
>>The Bible does not condemn science as we understand it, but does tell us to be fruitful, to multiply, to prosper, replenish and have dominion over life on Earth. Those imply, to me at least, careful study & understanding of natural processes.
No. God was simply telling us that plants and animals multiply after their respective kinds, which is observable science. There are no exceptions, either in life, nor in the fossil record.

No, that would be bwest, and now you.

>>In fact there are literal mountains of evidence — including billions of fossils collected in hundreds of thousands of species — each one showing transitional elements with species both before and, if any, after.”
There is not a shred of evidence in the fossil record for common descent. The observable evidence supports the biblical concept of the created kind and devolution, not evolution.
The fossil record also supports the the biblical narrative with abrupt appearance followed by stasis, and disparity before diversity.
The geological column supports a global flood with its widespread uneroded, unbioturbated sedimentary layers, loaded with marine fossils in virtually every layer, including the topmost ones. The folding, not cracking, of the sedimentary layers covering mountain ranges points to geological upheaval while the sedimentary layers were still pliable.
You are welcome to provide evidence for common descent, but I won’t hold my breath, because there is none.
Mr. Kalamata
I have no doubt that God told Moses of His Creations in terms that not just Moses, but also Moses' contempories from Egypt to Mesopotamia, would understand.
Anything else would be considered obvious lies and so be rejected by the ancients.
What's remarkable to me is how closely the Bible corresponds to not just spiritual but also natural history.
Kalamata: "There are no observable facts supporting the religion of evolutionism.
It is strictly faith-based."
That's a flat-out lie which discredits both you and the faith you claim to support.
Kalamata on sanctimony: "No, that would be bwest, and now you."
Claims our King of Sanctimony.
Kalamata: "You are welcome to provide evidence for common descent, but I won’t hold my breath, because there is none."
There is evidence in fossils and DNA, but of course, only for those willing to see it.
