Re: Evolutionist Superiority
It is not a matter of superiority to simply not take at your word that your interpretation of the bible is infallible. In fact, it is nothing more than arrogance on your part to describe it as such.

Re: Evolutionist Superiority
You just proved the point of this thread.
You give me far too much credit.
My observation is that there is only one party beseeching us to take everything at their word. The better evolution champions on this board don't appeal to authority. They don't ask you to take it for granted. They simply offer and explain the overwhelming mountains of evidence supporting their position. They present the evidence and you are perfectly free to attempt to examine and refute it if possible.
When, on the other hand, some "non-believer" has the gall to actually rely on their reading comprehension skills and interpret the bible, the very FIRST thing you do is appeal to your 45 years of study and understanding, as if this was obviously some kind of consensus interpretation of the bible and not merely your own personal understanding.
