Here's a thought for you, Rev. In the time between your first argument's thread having run its course (which was days before you apparently thought it did) and your presentation of argument 2, you could have read an up-to-date book on evolution and spared yourself a train load of much deserved ridicule and contempt.
You seem to think that evolution and Christianity are mutually exclusive positions, but you have been told repeatedly that this is not the case. Again, Francis Collins is a Christian and a prominent and highly respected biologist who knows damn well that the evidence for evolution is compelling. Most Christian denominations accept the evidence for evolution. Your issue isn't with the science, which you don't understand. Your issue is really theological and about how your particular approach to the Bible forces you into these weird contortions. Since you have demonstrated no desire to learn the science, why are you arguing about it with a bunch of atheists? Your beef should be with your fellow Christians -- the ones who think your approach to scripture is wrong.
