Sounds like a typical FreakyArgument.
I make a statement, you fail to address the statement and simply
assert something unrelated.
If the Genesis stories were meant to be taken literally, then the two
creation stories would not have mutually exclusive contradictions
(specifically the order in which the various 'creations' appeared).
Sorry, Bud: Your slavish following of the Bible's literal text is increasingly
a minority position among Christians who recognize that the beauty of
Creation and its Creator does not hinge upon whether the universe
is less than 10000 years old, and doesn't entail the wholesale rejection
of demonstrable sciences which, through independent methodologies
which are repeatably observable by anyone, only serve to enhance a
person's appreciation of the universe in which we live.
Your subtle assertion that an evolutionist-Christian entails a
contradiction is both laughable and insulting. Get a grip, read a
science book, look through a microscope and telescope a bit, and
try prying your fingers loose from your security blanket.
