Very easily at the micro-evolution level, but admittedly not as smoothly at the macro level. It's very reasonable to think we were created to be able to adapt to our surroundings.

The big bang also fits pretty well into the biblical creation story; if you apply Einsteins theory of relativity.

Doesn't that commandment pretty much require that you know exactly what he means by "a day"?

I do think there should be a place for white people.

Africa for the Africans.

Asia for the Asians...

Middle East for the Middle Easterns.

Europe for everybody!

I do believe in freedom of association.  If a white person such as yourself wants to live in a all black neighborhood, I wouldn't stop them from doing so.  Likewise, if a neighborhood of all whites, didn't want a black family to move in, they should be respected and no black should move in.  I believe blacks should have the same things available if they want as well.

You repeating that we are doesn't make it true, you know? 

Sure the theory is accepted, but it is still just a theory and not proven.

Those muscles are reminiscent of the same muscles that move the ears of other mammals. Nowhere was hearing acuity....or lack of it...mentioned. Again, thats the age old creationist trick....take a fact like vestigal ear muscles, and twist it to make the false claim of something else, like hearing loss.

The whole thing is a cop out by religious people who paint themselves into a corner, then when logic gets applied come up with these excuses to give them a way to weasel out of the obvious inconsistency. The whole "we don't know how long a day is in god's time" only came about when the logic of that happening within 7 24 hour periods was obviously wrong. If god wanted people to understand and follow his word literally, then it should have been written in literal terms that could be easily understood and followed. The fact that people claim it was written by man, but they were the vessel of god should account for this even more strongly.

But its easier to be snarky than deal with the issue at hand.  We get it.
