“you offer no evidence beyond the authority of an old book that doesn’t even mention that germs cause disease.”
I am too busy to engage in these debates much lately, as they tend to consume an inordinate amount of time. But...
sometimes people say things like you did, from which I cannot restrain myself from replying.
Louis Pasteur debunked the popular “scientific” thinking of his day with his famous swan-neck flask experiment.
Pasteur was a contemporary of Darwin. And his views, like Darwin’s, would eventually become tremendously influential to biology. Yet, unlike Darwin, Pasteur regarded the accuracy of the Bible as foundational to his pursuits.
Pasteur’s experiment simultaneously debunked the popular myth of his day of so-called “spontaneous generation” and replaced it with the germ theory of disease.
It is highly significant that Pasteur was quite confident of being right before these tests because he based them on his confidence in the Bible.
In particular, he pointed out that God created life to reproduce after its own kind.
The evolutionist websites will touch on this little embarrassment by trying to rewrite history or by trying to examine the particulars of his theologies or human frailties. But the fact remains, he was a great scientist who not only believed the Bible, but based his scientific theories on it. And he gave us much more practical and useful scientific results than can be directly attributed to Darwin.

Macro evolution's sole practical application seems limited to its use in marshaling colorful parades of knowledge. Enabling FR Darwinists to thoroughly enjoy themselves. LOL.
