This Bible record of creation thus rules out the evolutionary philosophy which states that all forms of life have come into being by gradual, progressive evolution carried on by resident forces. It also rules out any evolutionary origin for the human race, since no theory of evolution, including theistic evolution, can explain the origin of the male before the female, nor can it explain how a man could evolve into a woman.

The "record" of stories. The fact of evolution. The reason for this denial post, putting up a straw man of science. The stories don't rule out anything because other than including origin myths, its writers were ignorant. For that reason, you will not find direct refutations in the Bible, only modern pseudoscientific apologetic arguments quote mining and reinterpreting old texts. The beginning of science may have been mostly philosophy (once called natural philosophy), that changed with the advent of hard sciences relying on observation of the world and strong evidence. Philosophy is still interesting but also a recipe to remain confused forever, until you begin to discover reality through real science.
I suggest #transphobia for the "man evolving into a woman" nonsense... It's also very ironic because in Ham's favorite myth, the woman comes from a man. Of course, both are false, with sexual reproduction going far before humans and mammals....
no theory of evolution, including theistic evolution, can explain the origin of the male before the female, nor can it explain how a man could evolve into a woman.
…FFS! Literally no self-respecting scientist or “evolutionist” is ever saying that “women evolved from men”.
…Ham, I know you’re a proud lying idiot, but don’t you think you’re taking it a bit too far?
This Bible record of creation
Look, my lupus is flaring this morning. I am not in the mood for this superstitious shit, and I am not going to entertain or respect it for your feefees right now. The Bible is not the Infalliable Word of God™, and your Abrahamic god isn’t real, so stop trying to pollute and obstruct science and progress with your religion. Religion itself is nothing more than a polite word for socially acceptable mass delusion, superstition, and cultism. Go read some of the enlightening nonfictional “leftist” and “Marxist” literature that terrifies you instead of fleeing to the comforting ignorance of your bible. Maybe you'll at least learn what those two words actually mean. /rant
nor can it explain how a man could evolve into a woman
And that is why the reality-based community now almost universally accepts that sexual reproduction was originally isogamous. Get with the times. It’s the twenty-first century AD, not the tenth century BC when your bible’s creation myth was first put to written word.
Even in the throes of brain fog, I am being more rational and reasonable than your pitifully benighted, willfully ignorant self.
“This Bible record of creation”
If taken literally, though there’s no reason it can’t be taken as allegory. Plenty of people do.
“…evolution carried on by resident forces.”
Forces you depend on daily, yes. Those ‘forces.’
"…can explain the origin of the male before the female,”
No, Ken. The evolutionary philosophy, as you put it, ignores the choreography in Genesis completely. There’s no scientific evidence that men came first, so we don’t have to explain one of the two origin stories in your holy book.
"nor can it explain how a man could evolve into a woman.”
You’re right. It can’t. It also cannot explain how goats looking at striped sticks have striped kids.
Thing is, it doesn’t have to, unless and until you actually prove any of this actually happened.
Right, clearly the logical truth of it all is that women are just talking ribs. Evolution is hard, so let's go with sorcery.
You are a clown, Hambone.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
