Also to throw a few names out,Louis Pasteur, Dr. Raymond V. Damadian and Sir Isaac Newton were christian scientists. The Bible commands Christ's followers to learn and gain knowledge. To accept an evolutionary world view is to completely negate the need to go to school. You are being inconsistent just to have this interest.

I demand proof of abiogenesis, Proof that one kind can mutate into another, proof that mutation can add information. Proof that something, ANYTHING can go against the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Short of that I demand you question the myth you preach as fact.

Look at pictures of the earth from space. Is it not a circle? Does it not have edges where the horizon disappears? The Bible does not once say that the earth is flat. You can check Job 26:10- "He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters,At the boundary of light and darkness.". Sorry you didn't do your homework, but the notion that creationists believed in a flat earth started with a satirical story of the life of Christopher Columbus.

In that case, i demand that you never send your children or any of your next generation to school or college in their life. Hand them over the bible and tell them everything they need to know is inside that book. They do not need to study science or maths.

Where in the bible says that the earth is round? It's describes earth as a "circle" not a "sphere" meaning flat and round...like a pancake.

Isaiah 40:22: "It is he who sits above the circle of the earth".

Job 38:13: "that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it".

Bible has claimed in numerous verses that the Earth is flat, has Edges, has Four Corners, has Pillars and has Foundations. You must be dreaming when u said scientists believed earth is flat!!! U r crazy!

Well there are only two religions that offer a scientifically viable explanation for the origin of the universe. Catholicism has done a huge detriment to Christianity, granted. Comparing Christianity to other religions, Christianity is the only one that claims a loving God and one that exists outside time. Facts recorded in the Bible have been verified, and proven historically accurate. Again FAS and washing. Washing alone would have saved thousands of lives 200 years ago.

The Bible teaches animals reproduce after their own kind and that's what geneticists find. As for who created that being has also been answered in the Bible. As far as them considering us God I have my doubts. In fact due to genetic degradation I have no doubt they would be smarter than us (collective intelligence aside) and probably stronger. Please realize that only the second generation was able to work metal.

You say that to accept a 2000 year old story is a bad idea but it has been proven historically accurate. If you have questions, feel free. People on the other hand have been proven wrong on so many issues it's embarrassing. For example pregnant women are warned in the Bible to refrain from strong drink, but FAS was only discovered about 30 years ago. The Bible teaches the world is round and "scientists" argued it was flat convincing many in the church that it was as well.
