If you think Genesis is litteral then you are by necessity stating that evolution is false. You want a source? How about, ALL of science

It's irrelevant, look for yourself. I may be completely wrong but don't take my word either way , go and read what they write and not just websites like answers in geneisis or creation.com What I'm saying is not at all controversial, mostly because believing in evolution in NO WAY diminishes ones faith

How do you discern when it's supposed to be taken literally and when it's not? What is your mechanism

That's like asking me what literature I've read to know gravity is why things fall. It will be easy to find, hell (pun intended type Genesis creation story into Wikipedia or Google scholar, I'm sure you can get enough from the links they provide We're not even talking about just the clear scientific flaws but the literary aspects (style) is a of how the text was written. Conversely the Gospels WERE written as historical documents, again not my opinion that of those educated in the field

Again not my claim. Read the literature

I'm not arguing I agree and we don't need the supernatural to explain the natural world ie. science. Rational (which is the strong majority) religious people understand that and are able to separate the two because they tackle completely different issues. You on the other hand are not a rational person and talk out of both sides of your mouth. You deny the science that contradicts your version of one particular religion while accepting other science that in reality intercepts directly with what you claim is false. I'll add this just because I think it important. Many atheists and non believers (even putting aside other faiths because I'm speaking to someone who claims to follow Yahweh) still believe in the supernatural, so your argument isn't even specific to religion

The writings of nearly every legitimate biblical scholar, it's not "my" opinion, it's the opinion of the experts in the field.

Exactly, now your getting in. Almost all biblical scholars regardless of religious beliefs consider Genesis to be metaphorical and not litteral, because science has demonstrated that none of what's written can be backed by any evidence. That also includes Noah, oh and same thing for Exodus since we're on the topic.

You quoted the wrong person. Guess you get the Gold for illiteracy

No one in their right mind would believe the bible over science on anything in which science is relevant. Yes many very intelligent people believe in God (not the same god you pretend to worship) but no geneticist regardless of his religious beliefs thinks we descended from Adam and Eve. As for as the idea of a higher being, there are zero conflicts with science, as science does not way in on the supernatural because science deals exclusively with things that can be quantified, measured etc,.. Reasonable, well read, Christians have no need to deny science, unfortunately you are not reasonable, well read (you literally told me you have never read a book by a qualified scientist on the theory of evolution, in fact claimed that there was no such thing) or a Christian

Once again you show your complete ignorance to what science is and does. The only ones that would ever say " people think science is infallible" , are those who lie about science to con simpletons like you for their own profit. Science is by definition provisional (you can google what that means). That is why science is an exponentially better way to truth, than the fictional book(or books) you pretend guide you. Why? Because science can and has changed, it's why we know the earth is spherical and not a flat surface covered by a firmament, like the bible says But please find me any legitimate scientist that has made any claim even resembling "science is infallible" but we both know you won't

If you put aside the whole sovereignty thing.( I personally don't think he really wanted an independent Québec, but used the movement to help polarize the people around his vision, but what do I know hahaha) René Lévesque was an amazing politian, just for the campaign financing laws he introduced alone.

That's a bad joke even for you, I'll give you another chance. You can do it Gilligan!

Again I could shoot fentanyl in my eye ball and still run intellectual circles around you Again I never even suggested abortion was good in fact I said the complete opposite, this is a question of government overreach. Normal people do not say that, murder has a specific definition under the law and abortion does not meet those criteria. You're arguing against the constitution by thinking that your religious beliefs should be the law of the land. Again I don't really care about the circus that is American politics, all I know is that my stocks are doing great. You're not up to speed on anything but maybe you should look into the organizations you use to defend your "moral" (used quotes because I don't think you actually have a moral code) opinions because they're batshit crazy. Again with the unsupported insults , who are these degenerates that I'm supposedly associated with? Again still waiting on one example, of anything I've ever posted on here that qualifies me as a left-wing psychopath .

If I was anyone it would be the professor. But good try Gilligan

P.S soy milk in a smoothie is actually very good

The only people that say "abortion is murder" is right wing, religious, nutbar , zealots. Are you arguing for a theocracy ? Wait, didn't you post an article from the heritage foundation? Are they not the progenitors of project 2025? So, you think the government should be involved in personal medical decisions and don't support the first amendment, what exactly do you stand for? As far as an ass kicking. Son, all you've done is throw ridiculous accusations at me without even trying to support them, were this a real ass kicking contest, you might as well be a double amputee, cause you got nothing you sad little man

Another great example of why there should be mandatory training for fire arms in the U.S. Dude couldn't shoot for shit.

I accept your surrender But just for fun, I said that personally I didn't agree with it but this is a question of government reach into our lives, what are your thoughts on that? You need to get off your morale high horse, your orange leaders spiritual advisor had to step down because he admitted to inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor. I'm starting to understand why you're so obsessed with pedophiles

Again, support anything you've said before demanding. En plus, I've already stated my position on the matter and nothing produced by a far right, faith based organization will sway me into letting the government be involved in those kind of personal discussions and you shouldn't want that either. A: because you claim to want to reduce the power of government and B: if you allow the government to regulate such things, when the lefties you're so afraid of take over they'll be able to have simple minded bigots like you to be castrated so the ignorance doesn't propagate. Now support an argument or admit defeat.

I wonder what it must be like living in your head (other than being spacious of course) because you're in a fantasy world. This conversation started with me simply asking you to support an argument you made and because you couldn't, you started making claims about me, which you couldn't support either. Then you "tested" me( I passed you ignored) then you "tested" me again and all you could do is argue semantics, wait do you know what semantics means? Serious question. Now you expect me to follow you down some rabbit trail and read something from the heritage foundation, the heritage foundation, seriously? Support any of your claims and quit trying to change the subject or just admit you live in a trailer, on welfare, and that this is your only outlet where people will actually interact with you. I'll figure out a topic we agree on and we could have a nice conversation and you could take a break from being so angry 😁

How about you justify calling me a left wing lunatic and a pervert ,instead of just ignoring all the times I've made you look silly,then trying to dictate what I have to talk about. How about you support any of the ridiculous crap that comes out your fat mouth. Or just continue ranting like the fool you are, which I'm sure you'll do, since we've obviously established you don't really have anything of substance to say. Do you or do you not claim to be an educator?

I'm not racist I own a color T.V But that dude is

I love how he claims the moral high ground, while calling me a pervert in the same sentence . He's funny

Yup ,blah, blah blah, talking point, blah, blah , blah, pervert, blah, blah , blah , lefty. Sad Don't you claim to be an educator?
