Fine, simple facts: Genesis is a myth created by a group of people who knew fuck all apart from taking goat penii up their rectii. It has no basis in fact or reality, and is quite clearly stolen from older creation myths, most obviously the Babylonian and Egyptian ones. Evolution on the other hand is a well documented natural phenomenon and is beyond refutation (though creatards do try hard), and the theory we have to explain it is well founded on evidence and predictive value and is one of the scientific theories out there with the lowest chance of being completely overturned.
Easy there boy, don't get so bent out of shape that kind of language isn't necessary, nor is your attitude. I simply stated that those who are in this discussion should agree to argue from the same staring point, the way it stands now you are arguing apples and oranges. Everyone should agree to one starting point and make their arguments, then take the other starting point and argue from it and see what the results. Then compare the two and see if you can find some commonality between the two. I wasn't try to argue for or against creation of evolution, I though it would be interesting to see the results without my participation.

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.
