As for why it appears that life on earth evolved, that's an easy one for Christians to explain, it appears that way because life on earth evolved. Ha! I have successfully refuted all of the claims put forward . . . by accepting them . . . because they're the only things that make sense logically.
That's the spirit! In the face of evidence you prefer evidence to dogma...now if you were to continue doing so...what of things like "spirits", virgin births, prophecy, and resurrection? You see, you draw the line somewhere on one of these issues and at exactly that point you are engaging in the same sort of thinking that the young earthers and literal genesis people are putting forward. So, some of the myths are true, and others false, but they are all identical with regards to the evidence. I'm not sure how you've determined which is which? I'm afraid that I would have to defend their beliefs against your criticisms unless you have something other than your own beliefs to support the distinctions you've made.
