I don't discuss it either, since I'm a historian and not a natural scientist. But even for a natural science idiot like me there are enough sources comprehensible enough to make evolution compelling.

You call evolution a "pointless theory" upthread. I'd call that discussing biology.

As I said, I had to look it up too. The nasty part of me thought, he was just another fundamentalist of some sort and wanted to rub that in his face. But I was pleasantly surprised by the definition of his denomination.

They assert that the Christian god is good.

Flawed judgement is flawed judgement.

Yeah, but as far as christians go, you look for the silver lining. And the silver lining is the not hating gay part and the recommendation to use the brain to some extent.

I actually call that exaggeration. I was commenting on how many theories there are.

Look up the scientific term "theory", hint, hint, hint ....

It's not what you think it to be.

How many theories there are..about what?

or are you just opining that science has "a lot of theories" in general?

You're funny. So science generally has a lot of theories, and that means what?
