I didn't ask you to repeat yourself. I asked you a new question, which (rephrased) is:
How in the hell can you argue that "every scientists on earth, interprets the data, based on their beliefs" when Christians (yes, including evangelicals), Muslims, Buddhists, atheists, Shintoists, etc., who are biologists all agree on evolution?
The only tiny minority who do not agree are Biblical (or Qur'an) literalists who think it would violate their faith (and invalidate the sacrifice on the cross) in order to reject a literal interpretation of Genesis.
You are asserting an idea that we are all just "having our opinions", and I am asking you why everyone's opinion agrees on the subject of evolutionary biology except for your small group of Biblical literalists?
You are claiming everyone on earth has an agenda, and so do you. But why would so many others' agendas agree on this subject? A Chinese Buddhist has no reason to agree with an American Catholic's interpretation on any subject.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
