Christian Faith Requires Accepting Evolution

[Whateverist]

The Bible is not a science book, was never meant to be and it will never be one.

The Bible is an account of God and what He has done in His infinite wisdom and power and how man fits in His divine plan. The Bible is not about man, but the relationship God wants with man, in short the Bible is about God and why we are to fit into His plan or reject His plan and be separated from Him for eternity.

If Christianity buys into evolution then we have bought into the doubt that Satan planted in the Garden and that is this "did God." Yes, that one little statement by Satan is all it has taken to bring doubt into the creation, bring doubt that God could have created the universe just as scripture states. I have no doubt about God's creation, I do have tons of questions, but they'll have to wait till I enter eternity.

It seems much more likely that a being capable of what you believe your God to be would find communication limited by the ability of his intended audience. Poetic allusion seems a likely recourse.

Likely? You figure it's likely for their god, with their grab bag of abilities and powers...to find some barrier to communication - whatsoever? I'm still imagining a bigger god, personally. After all.....my children have already learned to communicate with human beings - one might imagine a god to express aptitude beyond that of my children........

No as I said there too I would expect an all-omni god to able to speak with great precision and specificity about all manner of things - something that doesn't happen in the bible. However if this being were trying to convey something subtle about what is meaningful and why or just something which is difficult for our non-omni minds to comprehend, then poetry may be the way to go.
