Hi, Thief. Welcome to EvC, I guess.

I'm seeking a bit more feed back
If you’re interested in the thoughts of a young man with little real experience in either science or religion, let me provide you with my assessment as to why you’re not getting any feedback.
In a logical debate, it’s customary to present a full argument at the beginning. That way, all parties are able to participate in a discussion and frame their arguments in a productive manner.
In a way, you have done so. In
Message 52, you claimed that you could harmonize Genesis and the Theory of Evolution.
Since that point, however, you have kind of rambled back and forth about what Moses would think about a round earth, and how people are not warmly welcoming you here. And, yet, you are asking for feedback.
Feedback on what? Moses demanding proof of a round earth? Or Genesis and the ToE? You've so far presented a handful of disjunct thoughts. I should think the insults to your sanity or clarity of thought would be the best feedback that could be offered given the circumstances.
Can you deliver on your original promise to harmonize Genesis and Evolution, or do you intend to continue jerking people around for another couple hundred posts before finally tying the ramblings back to the original claim?
The way you’re going, you come off as condescending. Everybody else has arguments that they would like the chance to present, as well, but your holding off on the presentation of your basic thesis in favor of slowly dragging your opponents through a ritualized sequence of questions that you’ve carefully crafted to reach the desired end that you’re not sharing with us, is robbing everybody else of their chance to actually participate in the discussion.
If all you want is for somebody to answer your question or provide the feedback you're predicting so that you can move on, why not just ask and answer them yourself, so we can read the whole sequence to see what the point of it is, and not waste the limited number of posts we get per thread waiting until our turn to present a rebuttal?
