"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
That book has never displayed any lick of scientific understanding of reality because it was not written by people who had any modern understanding of scientific reality. No part of it ever. It displays one thing and one thing only, humans have vivid imaginations.
I remember on (I think it was) another forum where some Muslim was claiming that the Koran was a scientifically accurate book because there was a passage which said something like "All iron comes from Allah in heaven." The claim was that since meteorites contain iron this passage is scientifically accurate. When it was pointed out that most of earth's core is made up of iron, they claimed that "all iron comes from heaven" meant that the iron came from heaven when the earth was formed or some nonsense.
Face it, there's no winning with these idiots because they all want to shoehorn modern scientific knowledge into their ancient texts. Even the most remotely similar-sounding passages will be used to claim that this or that holy book was always way ahead of science.

It would seem that just as the jews wandering the desert felt compelled to make themselves idols...our modern spiritual successors to those same characters cannot help but worship at the altar of another.
Ah, such wonderful things can be injected into the stories we tell....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yeah real good scientific advice there. That one really was the grand finale. I mean, seriously. We're not just talking about post hoc interpretations of cheery picked passages retrofitted to resemble modern scientific understanding of the universe while under the influence of confirmation bias to make the spurious assumption that there could be no natural or coincidental explanation and so GodWroteIt is the only option. All that stuff I expected. No, we're way past that point on the last one. Some apologist actually read Lev 15 and (1) thought it would be a good idea to draw any attention to it and (2) seriously thought it was good advice on hygiene at all, never mind advice that could only have come from a divine source. I do understand this correctly? Right? Someone actually read Lev 15 and thought "Wow, this is good advice. We need to run this to print and share this!"? You see why I was so stunned? Why I broke with my usual style and typed in all caps and swore twice? Fuck me! Apologetics is truly the profession for those who have no shame.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too." ... -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept "(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question" ... -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
I read Leviticus back when I was still a believer and even then I laughed at the idea of houses having leprosy. I think my thought was "What kind of backwards, superstitious shit is this?" Too bad I didn't make that connection with the rest of the book until later.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
Translation: "It doesn't."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
