It's not my job to prove my argument,
Surely you jest. It is certainly your job to advance your own argument. I'll note that bluegenes provide a rebutal to your argument that did not involve any links, which firmly kicks the ball of defending your argument back into your court.
The point here is that lactose intolerance is a well known and well researched phenomenon. You joined a discussion in which the participants had no problem accepting those conclusions and were instead simply speculating on what the selection pressure might be, and then decided to insist that we take our discussion back to square one. Why should we feel any impetus to do that just because you cannot be bothered to read?
Nobody really needs to prove anything to you at all. Out of courtesy two of us have provided references and a little discussion, but ultimately, if you want to participate, you are going to have to do a little homework. I don't really care that you don't accept evolution.
Finally, I am going to address your bit of an argument. I'll note that ringo has quoted a Bible verse showing that milk was food for babies only. In addition, as you also noted, "land of milk and honey is a metaphor" and not a literal statement. Nobody could live on such a diet, and of course since feeding babies is important, the statement does not necessarily say anything about adults drinking milk. But let's assume that it demonstrates that adults were drinking milk. Ultimately that still proves nothing.
You posted a Bible verse describing Abraham and other adults drinking milk. That's great. Except that the person in question lived well after (about 2000 years) Adam was created, and under your scenario for post flood evolution, that would not be a relevant time for showing us that man was created with the ability to drink milk as an adult, and then later lost that ability.
After all, in the evolutionary theory, we are discussing a time frame of 10,000-20000 years for such changes. We don't need to seriously consider the idea that the earth is only 6000 years old in every discussion. Certainly not in a science forum discussion.
In short you have yet to post anything that should be taken seriously.
you have so that a reader of the thread could follow it without having to open links
You post mere links on a frequent basis. That's what you did when I asked you about the anathemas, and you never responded when it was pointed out that you probably did not have any objections to the majority of what your reference included.
