I see no corrections. You are starting to sound like a broken record player.
No questions. You were asking me questions... remember?

Why should you care what I believe about a diety or not?
I thought you wished to discuss science.
I do believe in a God that created all things... but why should our conversation be about that?
Why not just stick to the science?
Dealers choice.
Why not ask a question or make a point that can be discussed instead of derailing the conversation?

So then "GodDidIt" is in fact the correct interpretation.
Which means you are being most dishonest in this thread.
I can no longer take you seriously.
Have a nice day.
Not if I never said it.
I didnt bring it up so no i am not being dishonest.
Bye.

YOU brought up the cat on acid.
Since you are being so evasive on the actual topic, I thought I would see how evasive you would be on the acid cat YOU brought up.

And you claim to want honest discussion...
And this is an example of how the conversation goes.... meow...meow.
How have.i been dishonest? Just because you keep saying it does not make it real.
I didn't bring God into the discussion... even though this is a discussion in a religion forum.
I am willing to have a discussion and not mention God... but I am using Genesis as a historical source.

You flat out said that "GodDidIt" was not the correct interpretation of Genesis.
Then admitted that it is.
That is being dishonest.
What post was that in?
References please.
And i was not referring to what i believe might be the case but what i was discussing.
Do you understand the difference?
I was not discussing my beliefs but what I was saying. I was using Genesis as a historical source and you were assuming I was using Genesis as a religious source.

I do not need to ask any more questions of you. You have repeatedly confirmed that you are a science denier and you have so far demonstrated that you cannot have a proper discussion. But hope reigns eternal.
Why are you running away? It appears that you think that if you run away that you will win some how.

You need to talk to historians. It is not a historical source. It is a mistake to use it that way.
We know that scientifically it is wrong and we know that historically it is wrong.
What science have I denied? **mod edit**
Where do you get the idea I am running?
I am waiting for you to show me the evidence for evolution that will change my mind.

Historians and archeologists use a Bible all the time when working in that area of the world as a reliable historical text.
So show that. I am waiting on your promised evidence that will change my mind.

If you believe in Noah and his magical boat you have denied all of the sciences. And pointless questions are an example of running away. As you just did there.

Historians almost never use the Bible. It has far too many errors in it. For example you have surely studied the Bible. What famous biblical character has two different birth dates at least ten years apart?
