The simple truth

[Esquilax]

I believe if God wanted to turn a flea into an elephant He could do it. Absolutely. Though I do not believe, even for a second, that life evolved in the way that Darwin theorised.

That's a real pity for you then, because evolution is a confirmed, biological fact. We can literally watch it happening, in some cases. Denying it now is the same as denying that the sky is blue, or that you need air to live.

Can I ask how you believe life began?

I don't know, and I'm not going to pretend that I do either. So far, the evidence points to abiogenesis, but I'm comfortable in accepting that we don't have a definitive answer yet.

Even though I will definitely hold it as untrue if it contradicts the Bible.

Why would I even bother, then? Why would you even bother coming here? If you're happy to seal yourself away from rational conversation, to make your beliefs impenetrable to reason and facts, and to work solely from unjustified presuppositions, then why don't you just sit in a room with a bible and pat yourself on the back over and over while telling yourself how right you are?

Nobody is going to take you seriously if you stick to this sentiment. If your mission here is to share the words of your god with us, then you've failed as long as you keep this presupposition, because now you have no credibility. We value honesty here, and if your position is "The bible's right, and if any fact disagrees with it, then it's wrong, because the bible's right," then you have an inherently dishonest position, and we will not take you seriously.
