Why would you take offense at my suggestion that since one claims to be in the service of others,
Each one must follow his heart. After all, the scriptures say one must love the Lord with all one's heart, mind, and soul. Since you're getting sick and tired of me too, that's up to you. But I must say that the 'discussions' have been very interesting.
And let's not forget beyond Genesis, Mark 13:19, Jesus said: "Pray that it will not occur in the winter. 19For in those days there will be tribulation unmatched from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again. 20 If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short."
Whether you are sick of me or not, I have learned a great deal from you.
So in summary you do not care what evidence is presented in science because of an text written by people long before our understanding of the universe. Your absolute need to take the writings as literal truth with no objection to a single word allowed will never let you accept what science is teaching us. Does that sound correct? If so why even ask about evolution. Your ultimate answer is going to default back to "If it is not in the bible it is not correct". Of course whatever challenges are helpful to us who accept evolution to keep up on the subject so I guess I can thank you for that. All I would ask is do not pretend to anyone that you really want to learn about evolution when you know you will only reject it, not based on its merit, but because you will never accept anything that disagrees with your literal translation of a book written by humans.
