Really? That's funny, I posted an assortment of historical points that the Bible discussed - and neither of you had anything to say about that.

So, I'm arguing the substance of the question, and you're both repeating an unsubstanciated rhetorical stance that the Bible is a book of stories . . . which one of us is supposedly irrational or illogical again?

I've studied both Christianity and Evolution to a far greater extent than (I'm guessing) either of you ever will lusta'. I've weighed the concepts both present, I've looked at the arguments and the evidence. Evolution just has too many holes, it leaves too many questions, and every claimed "answer" just presents more questions. It offers no answer to the beginning, and no evidence as to how it all came to be. It offers no logical developement, and so often contradicts its own assertions.

Though I must say, I am amused by the "armchair atheists" that arbitrarally decided all religions where idiotic before they learned anything about them - and for that matter, decided that evolution was right simply because it held the gilded label of "scientific".

This is the final stage of ignorance. You have no facts to back your position, you have no evidence to back your claims, so you talk down to your opposition. Like a child who's lost a game, you're degrading the game and the competition - "You're stupid, I don't care about this game anyway". You can't win, so the game doesn't matter - classic.
