Theistic evolutionists are heretics and the worst theologians ever invented, imo. Their idea of sound theology is laughable and pathetic - ignore Scripture and Christian doctrine and replace it with Scientism. Theistic Darwinists and atheistic Darwinists are actually on the same side and belong to the same cult. You sound like an idiot. For your sake, I hope you're not being honest. But either way, you are not worth my time. Good day, sir.

"For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." - 2 Timothy 4:3-4 Wow, that sounds like it is speaking to you. You won't put op with the sound doctrine of evolution and instead, to suit your own desires, you turn towards the myth of creationism. Tsk tsk.

(2) results in UNIVERSAL COMMON ANCESTRY. What if spontaneous generation occurred twice, and one died and everything else came from the other one? There'd still be a universal common ancestor. What if it happened 100 times, and 99 died? Same deal. A single occurrence isn't required.

Don't cop out. Show me the quote.
Regardless though, my point stands: a single occurrence of spontaneous generation is not required for universal common ancestry. Care to address that point?

OK, here it is; "They suggest that life arose from inanimate matter only once and that all organisms, no matter how diverse in other respects, conserve the basic features of the primordial life. (It is also possible that there were several, or even many, origins of life; if so, the progeny of only one of them has survived and inherited the earth.) " Nothing in Biology Makes Sense except in the Light of Evolution, Theodosius Dobzhansky So then you do agree that a single occurrence of spontaneous generation is not required?

The Bible you claim to follow offers not the slightest hint that the Darwinist tale you believe in is scriptural. It also doesn't talk about gravity, or germs... It misses quite a bit, doesn't it?
On the contrary, it states something very different - creation over a few days. It states that in what it quite clearly a myth. You don't think that snakes can talk, do you?

Similarly the occurrence of life could have taken millions of years with only one winner, as Dobzhansky says. The consequence is that all living things today have come from a last universal common ancestor. That at least is the consensus opinion of evolutionists today. What if we do find a life form that could not have arisen from that ancestor? Not much really. Evolutionists would just say that there were at least two survivors from that initial origin of life. Right, so therefore it is not an assumption. Agreed?

It's likely that when the serpent "spoke" to Eve, it may not have been in an audible voice, but something telepathic... Oooh, a likelihood... can you show me your math? How did you determine the odds? Or did you just make that up? The way Genesis is written (at least in the NIV), when the Lord speaks to Adam & Eve it has quotation marks around exactly like when the snake is speaking to Eve. They're both characters in the myth that speak to Adam & Eve in the same way as any other conversation would go. There's no reason to think that it was telepathic and not verbal. But this thread is about evolution and not Genesis.

So when Satan communicated his will to Judas Iscariot, do you imagine he did so in an audible voice that everyone could hear, or was the communication achieved silently? If silently, how does that work? I dunno, quote the relevant passages and let's look at them.

It doesn't say anything about Satan speaking to Judas, but this is way too off topic.

This quoting-out-of-context is the rule rather than the exception. That comes right out of their shitty "How to Use the Bible" playbook

Either the Bible is God's accurate inerrant word or it's just another fable to be ignored. Worst. Theology. Ever.

If the first parts of Genesis are allegorical, when does the allegory stop and the literal begin? What a loaded question! I wouldn't call it allegorical... allegory is an intentional literary device. I'd bet that ancient Hebrews thought they were talking about actual events when passing on their oral history. Even when it finally got written down, the authors may have thought they were actual historical events. That would make it not allegory. But to answer your question: There is no "point" in the Bible where the myths become factual descriptions of actual events. But we do know for a fact that the entire planet has not been covered in water since humans have existed, so it'd definitely have to be after The Flood. Honestly, I doubt the exodus even happened for real - but that doesn't mean that everything before it is completely untrue. There is no dichotomy of either 100% true or 100% false that we have to apply to the Bible.

Because everything is subject to human error ... Except writings inspired by God Himself. Prove it.
