"You're right on! It makes me crazy when fellow Christians start saying that we shouldn't take the book of Genesis seriously because evolution has been proven."
And what, exactly, does the creation of our planet/the universe have to do with the diversification of life on this planet?
Oh, I see. You think evolution means "everything from the Big Bang to why it rains".
"Have you ever asked anyone to back that view before?"
No. Generally I save my interrogations for those ignorant enough to support the genesis account, not those intelligent enough to see it for the mythology that it is.
"Like, explain why a figurative character (Adam) is included in the genealogy of Christ?"
Because they're both fictional? Because it's easier to make someone "great" if they're linked, particularly by blood, to someone of some historical importance? Because they thought nobody would actually pay much attention anyway?
Pick one. Doesn't really matter to me which. I'm sure I could come up with a dozen more if none of those suit you.
"hen they have to affirm that Adam was real, but evolution had to have happened."
Uh, say what?
"That's when you get to ask them if Eve Evolved from Adam's rib."
That's not evolution you ignorant jackass.
