We are not making it appear that a rejection of scientific knowledge is a prerequisite.
​
No, you're doing you're darndest to conceal it.
​
That's why you feel obliged to mouth tripe about how "evolution is nowhere near fact".
​
The question is, what happens to people duped by this sort of hogwash who subsequently discover that you're not telling the truth?

Delightful. It is clear from Gen 2-4 that this describes the point of domestication of wheat in southern Turkey.
​
This must be some use of the word "clear" with which I was previously unfamiliar.

It would be easier to know what you were talking about if:
​
(a) You said what you were talking about.
​
(b) You told us what this "study" was about.
​
(c) You had replied to a specific post instead of hitting the "general reply" button.

Historically, there has been one way of interpreting the creation account.
​
Bollocks.
​
Even modern creationists can't agree on one way to interpret either the Bible or the world in front of them.
​
The new ways of interpreting genesis came in the early 1900's when churches started compromising with the scientific facts.
​
Actually, the church has been compromising with the scientific facts ever since they found out that the world didn't actually have four corners.
​
The question is now, why would have God hidden the truth of Genesis for over 1800 years to his church ?
​
Reality-denial is a modern heresy. It has nothing to do with the traditions of the church.
