No, what I'm saying is that you don't understand the science, or you're choosing to ignore it. You can't just pretend it's not there. Every reputable scientist - even the Christian ones - accept evolution as scientific fact. If you don't accept it, your position is not based on evidence or reason, but blind faith.

No true Christian accepts evolution. I'm not invoking the true Scotsman fallacy, it's just a logical contradiction.

I understand the science well enough, I just don't think it is infallible.

No, thanks. I'll stick with my first answer, as it's the one the evidence best supports.

why guess, surely God wants us all to understand, and be living true and virtuous lives, made in his image, you know, the image of a spiteful vengeful old man who sacrificed his nice bloke son to appease his own wrath?
