If you say you reject it out of faith, then if would follow that you reject true science altogether and would revert to Dark Ages when Christians were required to believe that the Earth revolved around the sun.
... you have to tell people how humble you are.
It flatters your vanity to interpret my words that way; the reality is that I am telling people like you that humility is advised in the Bible for a reason, and it behooves all of us to remember that. It takes real humility to accept the likelihood that God formed us by way of the lowly ape.
It takes twisting of Scripture to read anything more into Gen 2:7 than what it says.
Gen2:7 ..the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Pride has nothing to do with a common sense reading of Scripture.
Pride also has nothing to do with rejecting the interpretation of the fossil record as showing common descent instead of common design.
Have you ever considered that the fossil record showed something besides common descent?
[[It takes real humility to accept the likelihood that God formed us by way of the lowly ape.]]
No sir- it takes a willingness to suspend scientific reason and a willingness to IGNORE the scientific facts ,and a willingness to take man’s word over God’s and a willingness to ignore the fignerprints of God in creation- but you’re welcome to do so- Heck- you’re even welcome to think it makes you ‘humble’ to do so, but don’t sit htere and ask those of us who prefer to actually LOOK AT the actual scientific evidnece instead of takign what’s shovelled to us by those desperate ot kick God out of the equation, to accept such nonsense!

In your dreams. The ToE does not equal all science, and rejecting the interpretation of the fossil record as proposed by the evos does not equate to rejecting all know science and wanting a return to the Dark Ages.
Nice hyperbole though.
Presuming that you really meant geocentric model of the solar system, that is just a myth that most people believed it or that the church required it to be believed. But no accusation to discredit a creationist or Christianity is too absurd to make, is it?

If we’re going to get into that sort of thing, I could point out that it was the scientists of Simmelweis’ day who were opposed to his suggestion of handwashing between doing autopsies and childbirth. Many women and children would have survived if they had followed the OT proscription of dealing with dead bodies.
