You need to start taking your medication. Your post is one only those going out of their mind would make. Humans are not God. We are sinners, enemies of God but as Christians have received undeserved grace and mercy.

Is it a bad assumption to believe that Jesus told the literal truth? If he was knowingly giving support to what he, as the creator, knew to be false, how would that qualify him as our ' sinless ' perfect atoning sacrifice? Jesus is saying there was No evolution, that there have Not been...
