The Theory of Evolution describes natural selection and the origin of species.
It makes no claims about the origin of life.
It certainly doesn't talk about dirt.
You need to talk to a geologist, pedologist or edaphologist - they can all talk dirt.
In reality, of course, we were fashioned from clay. 😞

Nobody’s tried to convince me of that. And I’m not aware of attempts of that occurring to other Christians, at least not without threats of violence.

Could those reasons apply to Atheists?
Edit: People trying to convert me to a false religion and trying to convert me to atheism amount to pretty much the same thing - abandoning the only true and living God.
Don’t you agree?

Never said the theory of evolution proposed an explanation for the origin of life. But it does claim the first life form was single-celled organisms and everything else resulted from that. The theory’s total garbage.
Tell me how dirt eventually became a thinking mind ...
That is the first mistake in your post.
Your second mistake is saying "The theory's total garbage.
You would make a great name for yourself if you could even put any doubt on Evolution.
(By doubt I mean scientific doubt, not name-calling or invoking the supernatural.)
Originally posted by @wolfgang59The theory’s got a lot of significant (and in my opinion) fatal flaws.

Unfortunately, the theory of evolution, like the theory of man-made global warming, is like a religion to atheists and you can’t get them to examine either critically or even objectively. They just proclaim each is “settled science,” stick their fingers in their ears, close their eyes and say, “Nah, nah I can’t hear you!”

May I ask what the flaws are in your opinion?
