Elephants and Turtles...

I was talking to the head of the circus not with his animals! who the fuck are you to judge the bible?!

A typically offensive and meaningless post.  I think everybody is in the position to judge the bible.  Doesn't it very clearly say that God gave us the free will to make our own decisions?  Surely that means according to your own religion, we are all free to judge the bible.  Do you actually know what your religion teaches?  Who gives you the right to say what we are allowed and not allowed to judge?  God certainly didn't, and for those of us who don't believe in superstition and fairy tales, there is obviously no reason why we can't judge fictitious books.  It is clear from both your religion and our beliefs that we should have the right to criticize the bible.  So I take it your morals and beliefs are something that you've just come up with on your own?  Why don't you try to show some moral integrity, if you have the intellect to figure out what that is...

Why do you guys always like to focus on 'our stupidity' and spelling errors and grammar, and religions, and beliefs... why dont you guys focus on the topic. This forum was made for idiots like you was it not?

You come to the conclusion that because I respect the bible I must be religious. Im certainly not going to waste my time and argue science over faith with an ignorant close-minded individual like you.

So are you claiming that you believe in Creation and that you respect the bible but that you're not religious?

You claim that we're close minded for believing evidence instead of stories?

You claim that we're ignorant, and yet you've not demonstrated one instance of this supposed ignorance while I've demonstrated a number of statements you've made that are false.

You are, of course, entitled to your own opinions, but if you're going to make gross accusations of ignorance, I don't think it's asking too much to expect you to be able to give some kind of evidence for those claims.

My impression of you from your posts in this topic is that you are a very simple minded person who does not understand scientific process or philosophy.

I like to think of myself as an 'open-minded' individual.

I believe in Creation over Darwin's theories of Evolution.

That's clearly a contradiction.  If you choose to believe in creation, you are choosing dogmatic belief over evidence.  You talk of a "fable told to 5 year olds" yet you believe that all humanity descends from 8 people and that 2 of every species of animal in the world were put on one boat to survive a giant flood.  The evidence for such a belief is mainly a book that is full of contradictions and historical inaccuracies.  Yet you choose to believe that over the enormous wealth of different evidence that supports evolution.  When you consider that we've actually observed species evolve into new species (source), it seems hard to deny that evolution occurs.  You claim to be open minded, but the evidence clearly shows that you are not at all.
