Me personally?
I think no matter what one believes it all comes down to a matter of faith. Because no one truly knows what happened. I know what the bible says and I know what science say as of 1993 plus or minus a few dozen documentries since then, and I can honestly say I do not know what happened, nor am I persumptious enough to claim absolute knoweledge on events that happened a long time before anyone could possiably and absolutly know. for my personal faith does not hang on one account or another. But because my faith claims one, I will teach the one as written in accordance to my faith. Because of this, to combine the two accounts means little in the way of reconsiling anything for me personally. But, I do see it as an obstical for those who fancy themselves as 'free thinkers' who just happen to 'think' just like every other 'free thinker.' that is the reason for my efforts here. to eliminate the barrier between religious thought and 'free' thought. In hopes that it will inspire actual independant thought apart from the 'free thought' most of you have been programed to think.
Ah, I see, it's scorched earth time. After having this gibberish criticized from literally every angle you feel the need to throw your hands in the air and say "meh, it's all the same, it's all faith"
Guess what, nope. Sound your retreat into inanity some other way, some way that doesn't insult our intelligence or your own. If you were going to default to faith as an endgame you could have saved yourself the trouble of waffling around about things like the fossil record and evolution in the first place. Here's the real kicker though, assume for a moment you weren't horrendously wrong, your excuse here is garbage. Why? Because in admitting that you don't know (and, for some hilarious reason insinuating that it could not be known) you reduced what was once rambling gibberish into a rambling appeal to ignorance - and it's still gibberish.
The only interesting thing you posted in this response was that your faith hangs on neither account. Of course it doesn't. Your faith doesn't hang on any account Drich, which is what I've been trying to express to you in just about every thread you've made since joining. Are we going to drop the "biblically based faith" bullshit in light of this? No, of course not.
