I won't accept your ideas because they are all obviously ad hoc, and you won't accept my ideas because you claim I've not provided any evidence. I could quote every book in existence dealing with the evolution of the universe, and still you'd disagree. Drich, you're like a lot of Chritians I know: you're not stupid, but you are incredibly close-minded and unwilling to look at existence from other points of view. I've looked at your ideas, analyzed them, and considerately disagreed with them. Open your eyes, Drich, there is so much more to this universe than dogmatic speculation.
Enough said.
Omg "my irony meter" just got cancer because what you said was so stupid.
Everything you just said, from your categorical attempt to dismiss what I said as a ad hoc, (even though despite your best efforts you could not prove it,) to your defaulting to a stereotypical atheist Christian evolution/creationism argument (despite what I have actually said.) to you appeal to the stereotype of the 'closed minded Christian.' This all reeks of someone who has painted himself into a corner and is projecting his short comings into me.
You opened a can of worms you do not know what to do with.
You said I ad hoc'ed a theory, when in fact all I did was underscore that there is no biblical time lines in creation account. Which means everything evolution says is biblically possible. Which is a thought I have never seen or argued before, which would indicate an 'open minded' thought process. Your appeal to one stereotype after another, and then told me I was close minded. This is what gave my irony meter cancer.
Seriously, your projecting your short comings (short comings I saw from the beginning but had planned on not mentioning till you tried to assign them to me.) if your looking for a way to end the conversation just make fun of my spelling or grammar or something obvious. I won't look to correct you there if I am indeed at fault.

I already know what I'll find: you leaping through hoops and redefining words and meanings so that you can attempt to make sense of a senseless story. Let's just ignore the fact that none of the authors of the Bible shared your meaning because, unlike you, they had no way of knowing how long the world had been there and could be forgiven for thinking that the universe was installed a few years before they decided to speculate on its origins. People who think the universe was created in six days aren't going to think that 13 billion years passed between that and their present day.
I should hope that you know what I have said in that thread if you are trying to discuss it. But according to the rest of your post it appears you don't know what is being discussed.
