It's not like we're short of options. If you think that these things sound like bullshit...then your beef is most likely with your fellow christers. If you can find some reason that I should privilege your batshit crazy over theirs, that I should consider your portrayal of scripture accurate...and theirs inaccurate, then by all means....share.
I covered that too... there are all sorts of views on evolution as well.... Should I choose the weaker and less widely held ones to argue against as if it is the whole? And there are also editorialized arguments I have seen, which aren't viewed in Christianity at all.
But if we come upon a disagreement from the scriptures in the future, I am happy to have a theological discussion in support of the difference of views (if one takes the matter seriously).
