I'm saying, if the theory of evolution were an undeniable fact, no credible scientist would / could deny it, without very serious consequences. Maybe I am wrong.
In a way you are correct - no credible scientist DOES deny it.

But allow me a bit of turnabout -

If the biblical timeline was an undeniable fact, no credible Christian would / could deny a young earth, without very serious consequences.

Funny thing - using the same "infallible" source, Christians fall into at least two very distinct camps re: the age of the earth/universe. Old earthers, and Young earthers.

If you all cannot agree on something THAT simple, then there must be something wrong with the source.

Or this gem right here Evolution Undermines Faith — Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY


Or that scripted playbook I found on that website, where it literally instructs JWs on what to say when and to whom when discussing evolution. It reads like a script for salespeople in a callcenter. Not meant to provide correct information, but instead just meant to make sales.

"What will you do if you find that the minister of your church endorses evolution? Will you stay with him, as a follower of man? He cannot give you eternal life. But God can, and he will if you exercise faith in his provision for eternal life through his Son Jesus Christ and if you carry on worship now in association with those who worship him “with spirit and truth.”

It seems their greatest fear about science and evolution is that it will debunk Adam as first man and first sinner. if this is the case, Jesus has lost his main purpose of existing. Very scary indeed if one's entire worldview, life and afterlife revolve around such a view.

I wonder how many of them believe DNA testing which proves many of us carry Neanderthal genes, is a hoax or conspiracy?

Do they think maybe those of us with Neaderthal DNA are of the devil? I have proof now through DNA testing I am 4% Neanderthal. How do they explain that away?

(A great excuse to brag I carry 278 Neanderthal traits!) So cool.

The process of evolution is no more or less then the accumulation of "adaptions" over generations. DNA is hereditary, in case you haven't noticed.
A process that works a certain way now in this nature...slow. A process that Adam and the created kinds partook of in their former nature. NOT a process that created life on earth!
Evilution is just religious creation stories.

Any evidence for this claim? I don't think that even your magical book makes this error.
