Evolution Trumps Creationism

no, because from now till the time of adam via the jewish geneologies and records of time from Christ to Adam about 6000 years have past. Meaning It was 6000 years ago that man made in the image of God was expelled from the garden.

Oh. So a Biblical date. I DID ask, so I guess I deserve this reply.

If we can not agree of what proof would look like then it would be foolish for me to search for something your looking for, but can not describe.

Drich, we aren't disagreeing. You proposed something. I asked for evidence. It isn't up to me to say what that looks like. The burden is entirely on you, unless you want to play the "get out of jail free" card of faith, at which point this conversation has no purpose. I have had many experiences where I could not imagine what evidence looked like, and yet it was provided and was very convincing. Just because I cannot imagine it does not mean it is not out there. YOU have to do the intellectual work to discover it. Again, I can point you in some directions that may be useful to you if you do not know where to begin.

No what i am saying is that if there is proof of a soul, it will be found in our living. once we die the what physical proof there is will also be Gone.

I am not trying to be rude, but this makes no sense. Because we are alive, this is evidence of a soul? If you genuinely want me to understand what you are trying to communicate, you need to try to explain yourself better. I'm not big on reading between the lines.

Since you said you couldn't say that souls were immaterial, does that mean you think they could have a physiological/genetic basis? Because that really would be problematic for reasons I'll get into if you like.

Possiably.

Well, I guess you can get back to me on that?

I knew this was coming. Did you read the Wiki entry at all? And regardless, please find more reliable sources than Wikipedia, which my high school students knew was an unacceptable scientific source. If you like, I can help you learn to navigate the peer-reviewed literature- it's not difficult. That is a genuine offer that will change your research life if you take me up on it.

Honestly I don't know and really dont care too much.

So are we done? If you don't care, then why are you defending your proposal? Are you just killing time on the internet? Have you engaged in a bad faith conversation with me? I've been reading other folks' claims about dishonest tactics on your part- I'd hate for them to be proven right.

This is my first engagement with a theist (other than Rayaan) on this site. PLEASE be better than this.
