That doesn't make any sense? Coming from a past Christian, the Bible is very specific on its beliefs so you can't just pick and choose. You can't believe in Evolution and believe in the story of creation.

Yes and no. Yes, you can believe in God and believe in evolution. No, you can't believe in the Bible and evolution.

Firstly, assuming "God" is the answer is ignorant having no evidence for there being one. Secondly, read up on the Big Bang theory. It works and is logical. It makes sense as to the idea of how the universe came about and is still expanding.

Natural Selection over billion of years.
BTW if we were invented so intelligently, answer these for me:
1. Why do we have an appendix, an organ that serves no purpose? In fact, people have been born without one in cases.
2. Why would we have a tail bone?
3. Why would we have ear muscles when moving our ears serves no useful purpose?
4. Why would we have hair on our heads?

LMFAO!!! Let me stop you here.
1. The Bible goes against the idea of the earth being billions of years old, which is proven by science and dating.
2. It says the earth is flat
Isaiah 11:12
And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
Four corners implies a flat world
3. It says the sky is made out of water
4. It says that the sun isn't a star
5. It says the moon is a light, when in actuality it just reflects the suns light.
6. God contradicts himself over and over again
7. The flood incident is actually impossible
8. It says man can only live to be 120 years old, which is disproven
9. There is no historical record for anything that happened in Egypt with Moses

What the hell are you talking about? Name 5 men.

Emotions are a function of the nervous system. Just like consciousness, which contradicts afterlife because when you die you lose consciousness.

6 ) People that go to church, stay away from drugs, alcohol and bad things are the ones you see living long, happy lives. And people that you see out on the street swearing at God are dead by the time they are 30 or are in jail. Why is that?
BS...
This has nothing to do with proving it real. Being in an environment that is against these things is why not it being real. If you lived by believing in Zeus, that required you to give up alcohol, any drugs besides prescription, and eat healthy and exercise everyday and you live to be 30 does it mean Zeus is real?

They have allies. God has nothing to do with this. If he does, he is also responsible for the holocaust.

Firstly, that is incorrect. Anyways natural selection my friend.
BTW here is a list:
- Humans
- Monkeys
- Orangatanes
- Chimpanzees
- Gorillas
- Giant Pandas
- Koalas
- Racoons
- Opposums
All have a joint like finger that can be considered an opposable thumb

We didn't evolve from monkeys. We evolved from the same species monkeys did. That is why are genes are so similar.
Look, if you want a real debate over this look in the God Vs. Fact debate. I don't want to get into that debate in this thread as much. BTW I was a Christian for 15 years before becoming an atheist.
