Okay how about the fact that more recent and accurate science, performed with more sophisticated research and tools than were available while parts of the Bible were being written, tends to contradict much of the Bible?

Age is irrelevant if you can't disprove it


Agreed. Since any proposition that can't be disproven can be summarily dismissed, its age is irrelevant.

Noah's flood can't be true because the only fossils found of sea creatures on mountains and other high terrain are ones that predate humans.

Evolution and the Adam and Eve story can't both be true, because evolution happens so slowly, that at no point would there have only been two humans on Earth. Also if our species were to hypothetically be reduced to two humans, it would be impossible for humans to repopulate the earth again.

Humans can't survive being stuck in a whale's digestive system for three days.

There's a few to start on.

Literally every canine on earth today can have its DNA traced back to wolves. In a little over 200 years, humans have created over 300 dog breeds by using artificial selection. How can one deny that a species can dramatically change over millions of years of natural selection?

Wrong. Many mathematical concepts that are used on a daily basis are built upon such postulates.

Im not sure either one of my dads know what a homophone even is. My mom is just awkward; she has nothing against gays she just has a hard time imagining one of her kids is... and not the one she thought.

Selective breeding =/= evolution. Many breeds of dogs have been identified but none have split into a totally different species.

What about bugs that are camouflaged with their environment because all the pretty colorful ones got eated? That's natural selection and I don't see how one could deny that self-repeating process over millions of years will eventually give you a new species.

Your only proof for evolution is "It might be possible for a new species to form", and all the while we have thousands of years of documentation that suggests otherwise. You obviously aren't very knowledgeable on the subject yourself because you haven't even brought up mutation.

My mom isn't, she's been friends with a gay lady for the longest time now.

My dad passed away but I don't think he was, he was a pretty tolerant guy, was friends with a pretty racially diverse cast of people so I don't see why he'd have any problems with gay people.

I confess I'm less knowledgeable than someone who majored in Biology.

because you haven't even brought up mutation.

But I do know the role this plays in evolution.

Just curious, what are these documents that suggest otherwise?

They're both religious and they never really talk about it.

I'm pretty confident they are, at least somewhat. It'd be awkward and uneasy introducing a gay friend to them. If I were gay and came out to them, they'd probably say something like God still loves me.

You threw a hissy fit about people putting their faith a 2,000 year old book when in reality you put your faith in something with arguably less evidence to back up. I'd say burden of proof is on you.
