@kellyjay saidSo on the one hand you accept evolution as scientific fact, but on the other hand you don't actually think it happens. I don't think you know what you think.
Small changes over time do not translate into wholesale changes over time. Accepting small changes in existing systems and features does not mean new systems and features will arise due to them.
@indonesia-phil saidThe word carries different meanings than just one, not sure why you find this difficult to grasp. It can mean changing over time which no one disagrees with. How far those types of changes can go is a matter of controversy. You seem to think it only means one thing, that is not the case.
So on the one hand you accept evolution as scientific fact, but on the other hand you don't actually think it happens. I don't think you know what you think.
@moonbus saidYou don't know anything about any of the scriptures by your own rules, so whatever you tell me is as meaningless as your views about them. I accept the signatures on them and that they were addressed to people, I accept the historical proofs related to the scriptures, you got I wasn't there, therefore I don't know...powerfully put.
I know that not one of the gospels was written by an eyewitness to a resurrection.

@kellyjay saidNot one of the gospel authors was there either. And that’s telling. Mark’s was the earliest gospel, and he never knew Jesus. Most biblical scholars put the composition of Mark’s gospel no earlier than 80 AD, some as late as 110 AD. That is a huge gap.

If someone told you he had been abducted by space aliens and his brain transplanted into another body, would you believe that, just on somebody’s say so? Now, suppose somebody told you that somebody else was kidnapped by space aliens, and somebody else’s brain was transplanted into another body, but he didn’t really see it himself. He just heard about it 2000 years ago. How credulous can you get?
@moonbus saidYou were not there so for you there is no way you can make any pronouncements on the validity by your standards, repeatedly saying you can’t know doesn’t change anything.
