Isn't it strange that the Bible never mentions anything about evolution? Have you ever thought of that, or wondered why? Wouldn't you think that if there was an ounce of truth to evolution, that there would be something written in the Bible that would, even if accidentally, agree with evolution? Could it be that evolution is just a theory to eliminate God and/or gods?

Let's see, what else isn't mentioned in the bible: Gravity, quantum mechanics, interior decorating, Corn Flakes, Pet Rocks, Madonna, diarrhea, flying squirrels, rubber tub stoppers, Nick Nolte, typewriters, IPods, cheeseburgers, clowns, people with clown fetishes, hairdryers, The Hamster Dance, earwax, cable television, rappers with ridiculous names, toenail clippers, mexicans, mexican clowns, people with mexican clown fetishes(I'm sure they exist somewhere), telemarketers, turtle soup, infomercials, poodles, the clap...need I go on?
Also, the theories of gravity, quantum physics, and chaos are also not mentioned. How about basic astronomy, biology, paleontology, archeology, geology, mathematics and geography? Not to mention shipbuilding, animal husbandry, steel manufacturing, farming, and veterinary medicine.
Could it be that Bronze Age mythology could not even begin to cover such subjects?

Not really,
Isn't it strange that the bible never mentions atoms, photons, higgs particles, electrons, quasars, galaxies, or any other discovery over the last 2000 years made by humans, which the almighty god did not seem to know anything about even though he supposedly created all of them?
Last I checked, 1855 CE was after 1500 BCE (when the first parts of the Old Testament were probably penned) or even 150 CE (when many sections of the New Testament were penned). And considering that they couldn't even get the prophecies right in the book of Daniel, asking them to prognosticate 1700 years or more in the future is kind of a stretch.

Let's not remember the valuable scientific information that is in the Bible:
Pi=3, insects have 4 legs, whales can swallow an adult human, the Earth has 4 corners, the Earth doesn't move, there is a glass firmament above it, the patterns of an animals fur can be changed by displaying different patterns to the animal...... the list goes on and on. Remember if Satan shows up for armageddon with "chariots of iron" Jeezus is screwed.

Could it be that the bible is just a bunch of stories written thousands of years ago by a simple, superstitious group of people?
More shit not in the babble:
Nascar, airplanes, heroin, glass, Home Depot, spoons, aquariums, plastic, cable tv, postal service, Tom Hanks, interstate highways, redwoods, Las Vegas, pizza, and Hot Wheels.

Why would anyone expect a Bronze Age primitive, for whom a wheelbarrow is emergent technology, to have any knowledge of transitional fossils, molecular biology, natural selection, et al ? Let's not forget that these guys were astonished by the rising of the sun every morning.
I'm always amazed that people who will show up at the doctor's office at the first sign of a sniffle, with total faith that the M.D. can cure them, will immediately vilify a branch of science they view as a threat to their beliefs. You can't have it both ways, kids. Either science is effectively on the right path of discovery or it's not.
The bible never mentions anything about technology or computers or televisions or telephones or electric/gas ranges or indoor plumbing or central cooling & heating or cars or trains or airplanes or grocery stores or hospitals or sidewalks or park & rides or freeways or Interstates or...well, any number of things that you use and participate in throughout your life.
If you discount evolution because it was in the bible, you better find yourself a cave near a running stream of clean water and live your life there.

More importantly, it doesn't mention anything about quantum gravity either. And it's stuff like that that would come in really useful. So any ideas? No?
Back to observing, theorising and testing then :(
The Bible doesn't mention the company I work for, either, and yet here I am, slaving away. But if it's not real...
Woo! Three day weekend!
Isn't it strange that the Bible never mentions anything ... that couldn't have been known or imagined by ancient tribal people in the Mideast? Wouldn't you think that if there were* an ounce of truth to the Bible being the Word of God that it would have predicted the discovery of the Americas or something like that which was outside the mindset of people living 3500 to 2000 years ago?
* Conditional tense. (Yes, I'm a grammar nazi and part-time bitch.)

Could it be that a computer is just a theory to eliminate God and/or gods?

Common descent is central to evolution:
Ecclesiastes 3
19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
This person really needs to take a serious look outside their freaky basement shrine that has trapped them in a shell of stupidity for who knows how long.
Evolution is not only about a single species morphing biologically into something different altogether. Evolution of humanity has taken place every day globally.
Tell me that if someone from biblical times saw you driving a Prius, talking on a bluetooth phone, getting directions to Jerusalem on a Garmin, looking up pictures from the Phoenix on a laptop & sporting some modern day threads, that the biblical time human wouldn't consider you something completely different. Possibly even "evolved" from some scary corner of the universe.
"Isn't it strange that the Bible never mentions anything about evolution?"
Why precisely would you find that strange?
"Have you ever thought of that, or wondered why?"
Ignorant goatherds often don't have the leisure time necessary to contemplate the intricacies of the mysteries of the universe.
"Wouldn't you think that if there was an ounce of truth to evolution, that there would be something written in the Bible that would, even if accidentally, agree with evolution?"
Noooo. I'm afraid I can't even begin to fathom why you'd think otherwise.
"Could it be that evolution is just a theory to eliminate God and/or gods?"
Could it be that you haven't a fucking clue what you're talking about?
Do you realize that the authors of the Greek new testament didn't even have words for "infrared light" and "induction cooktop"?
Clearly, these things don't exist.
Plus the Bible doesn't mention things such as motion pictures, photosynthesis, aviation, nuclear physics, gravity, engineering, photography, rock climbing, etc.
So get your head out of your ass.
In Genesis it says:
First it says every living creature came from the water and then it says let them com forth from the earth. This implies indirect creation.
"Isn't it strange"
no
But you're stupid.
The bible has no mention of computers, America, or television either. It does however mention that insects have four legs, that bats are birds, and that pi = 3.
I'd say that not being mentioned in the bible is a very big plus.

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
