Good point.
By the way, there is colossal amounts of evidence for evolution from multiple fields. More than you could probably evaluate in a lifetime. It's out there, you only need to seek. Whoops that sounded a bit like A/S/K! Instead, I assume you are actively seeking objections to evolution. This is religion stifling education.
I agree this is a total double standard of scepticism. Accepting that Jesus rose from the grave and God (specifically Yahweh, not some deist God) created the whole universe based on a handful of textual accounts should mean you'd accept evolution based on a similar amount of evidence, or less, as it's a mundane claim in comparison. You're accepting the "alternative" explanation which has, in comparison, no evidence or explanatory power. And like I said, it's a false dichotomy to even consider magic as "the alternative explanation".
I love ya Kingpin, you're a great guy. I'm only critiquing your scepticism
