Evolution is now (hopefully) fact for anyone who thinks rationally.
The Old Testament (used both in Judaism and Christianity, dunno for Islam) claims the story of Adam and Eve is true
If Evolution is right, Adam and Eve never existed. Hence, the Bible claimed something that is not true
Since one thing in the Bible is wrong, the Bible as a holy book that speaks the word of God is not acceptable, everything it says can be questioned, and the burden of proof is therefore on the bible-believers.
I know, this argument is shaky at best, but it is pretty simple to explain, does not require philosophical interrogation and rarely leads to the loop argument of "i believe because i believe".
what?
you made an argument against types of people not the bible. That being bible literalist.
You also made arguments against people that tell you what you have to believe instead of how to "reconnect" to the ecosystem around the best way YOU can..
a simple risk vs. benefit tells the real story. Unless of course you think the inquisition killed more people and was in the name god. which is was not. It was a power struggle between men.
