Can you point to anything that is presented as fact that has been proven to be a lie? One certain test would be archaeology. Please indicate where facts stated in the Bible has been proven beyond any doubt to be falsified or dishonest? Not where differences of opinion exist. In all cases where this has happened in the past, the Bible was eventually proven to be correct.
Wow, there is so much wrong with this I don't know where to begin.
1. Even if there was wilful dishonesty in that one instance, it would not disprove the entire theory of evolution.
2. Even if the theory of evolution was completely false, how would that make the Bible true by default? What about all the other creation myths available?
3. There are many things stated in the Bible, including archaeology, that are completely and provably false. If the Exodus had happened, there would be archaeological evidence of it, which there is not. You can't say there can be no difference of opinion because people can disagree with anything, no matter how solid, especially when it contradicts something they hold dear (ie evolution). Give me one fact about the Earth that NOBODY disagrees with. If you manage it, I'll disagree just to prove my point. Other things the Bible has wrong is the age of the Earth, and the way in which life diversified. Also, the way in which world languages developed, since I think I'm right in saying that it's claimed God invents all the languages (am I right on that? Could be mistaken).
Edit: Oh, AND the Bible had the Sun going round the Earth. Need more?
Also: It has already been explained to you that 'macro-evolution' (stupid, useless term) is simply the accumulation of thousands of generations of 'micro-evolution'. After undergoing thousands of those small changes you acknowledge happen, eventually the thing becomes less and less recognisable from the thing it came from. It then becomes a new species. You can put your fingers in your ears and just deny that this happens, but it's the only logical conclusion if you keep following that path for millions of years. Tell me what's so hard to accept about that (apart from the fact that it makes baby Jesus cry)?
