Why do you *not* accept evolution?

Actually, it goes beyond that; nowhere does God ever explicitly say how old the earth is supposed to be, rather it is inferred from the entire Old Testament. So He's not responsible if we did the math wrong.

Well to be frank with the information in the OT, it would be astounding if we did it right? What a load of cobblers.
 
It's a bunch of books, written by different people. So, yes, it was "cobbled" together . . . maybe you meant something else . . .

The sequence of events in Genesis was cobblers (pants, not very good, unreliable, nonsense)
 
You misunderstood TOE. According to TOE, you didn't come from a monkey but a mythological creature something like Big Foot (except maybe "Little Head") which had two offspring; One went finally went to Harvard while the other went ape. :)
Some people believes this mythological creature existed while others have serious doubts.

Some people believe he exists because we have found his skeleton. Generally finding something suggests it exists ;).
 
God why are you still hung up on it?
I'm not hung up. It was brought up, and I addressed it. I'll admit, though, that the prospect of it turning into a giant conflagration is not unappealing.
 
The reason I do not accept evolution completely is because of the simple fact that we wear clothes.
 
What, you stole my chicken? How dare you!
 
You'll have to argue with yourself then, or admit the fundamentals of maths are wrong or scientists are going about things all wrong, because I've lost interest to be frank. :p
I'll believe it when you stop posting about it. ;)

As far as I'm concerned it would be equivalent to me trying to argue the fundamental rules of calculus are wrong, ie pointless.
Not really, 'cuz I'm not arguing that certaintity and uncertainity aren't important concepts in probability and statistics, only that probability and statistics isn't used to find certainties.
 
In the UK, you evolve. In Soviet Russia they evolve you.

Just like they found "Big Foot" footprint. lol
 
What does life spontaneously springing up in an unopened jar of peanut butter have to do with Evolution?

Evolution says nothing about the origin of life, only the gradual change of organisms that are already alive. It sounds like the preacher is thinking of Abiogenesis, and arguing that Evolution is false because Abiogenesis cannot be proven is pretty stupid. They're two completely different theories independent of one another.

This made me laugh pretty heartily:

Wow, here we are in 2008 and Abiogenesis is still a topic?
 
That actually contradicts Christian Theology because it implies a deceitful God.

I believe in evolution, but theistic evolution.

Or it could be that Gods first try was with the dinosaurs and they failed miserably so he sent a comet to wipe them out?

/shrug.
