in this debate, is going to be how we understand the word delusion. if you dont prefer to use that word, i will let you pick a word that best describes someone who wants to believe something that can be proven in multiple ways, scientifically proven, to be false, and will choose not to believe in something strictly because it runs counter to what they already believe. i want you to find the word that best descibes that way of thinking, and tell me what it is, and if i agree, that is the word we can use. im trying to meet you in the middle here, because i think delusion works just fine, but you think if goes to far and is insulting, so i will back off. deal?
ok, now to the issue with evolution. let me first ask you, do you believe in evolution by means of natural selection, as described first by darwin, and championed later by brilliant guys like stephen jay gould, daniel dennett, dawkins, jerry coyne, the list goes on? if so, why? if not, why?
that site you linked, if you take a few minutes to read some things in it, you will notice that it states things like "We believe the Bible (the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments) is the Word of God, written. As a "God-breathed" revelation, it is thus verbally inspired and completely without error (historically, scientifically, morally, and spiritually) in its original writings."
and "The Bible is therefore our supreme and final authority in all matters that it addresses."
their ideology determines what they must find, instead of letting what they find determine their ideology. they have it completely backwards. they cherry pick a little thing here, and a little thing there, and go "see, this doesnt add up, evolution is a myth" and largely ignore the massive other quatities of evidence compiled over years and years. ill just have to wait on your answer as to your personal belief before i go any further on that.
