Let's make this clear: when you say the Bible is "true," you mean "literally true," don't you. There's abundant evidence that it isn't literally true...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is? Where?

Maybe I should have said lack of evidence, for a start. There is a lack of evidence for a 6-day creation, a global flood, everyone having descended from one man and one woman who lived 6000 years ago, and all the animals that ever existed on earth being there together at that time too.

However, there's also evidence that the Bible is a book written by people whose cultures and beliefs changed from the Old Testament to the new, and who were human beings capable of making mistakes. I don't think you'll like it, but here is a list of Biblical inconsistencies. The author makes it clear that these would only be problems for someone who reads the Bible literally, not for someone who reads some of it as being metaphorical.

It's easy enough to ask for evidence, the problem is, you have not provided any rock solid evidence for evolution yet.

I've asked you a number of times how you would explain the sorting of the fossil record across the world. There's also genetics and nested hierarchies. Where's your own evidence for creation, apart from a religious book? And how does it explain the above evidence better than evolution?

You have been provided with lots of evidence for related things already. Have you forgotten so quickly?

If you mean Reverend Baugh, I've explained why his man and dino prints are not valid evidence. If you are unhappy with the way that I do not accept this kind of thing as proof, then please provide some proof which would count as being scientific. I've been attempting to explain to CTD what this entails.

By the way, it's interesting that you suddenly seem so keen on mentioning quantum physics, not that i believe you know much of anything about it... but when I first mentioned the idea to you several months ago you thought it was hilarious. for some reason I get the impression you like to mention it but actually do not know more than a few word sepak quotes concerning it.

CTD started lumping Einstein in with his "lying scientists make stuff up" claims and I wanted to address that. I do know something about it because I studied the bare basics in school and have just read a book called The Cosmic Code: Quantum Physics as the Language of Nature by Heinz Pagels, because I am interested in energy medicine and wanted to understand more about its relationship to quantum physics. It also put me in a position to say that Einstein was not pulling stuff out of his hat. Do I pretend to suddenly be an expert, or to have understood every single thing in the book? Of course not. But I thought the Wikipedia article made it clear why space-time can be seen to function as a fourth dimension when relativity theory is applied. The actual curvature of spacetime, and time dilation effects, have been observed. Space and time are intricately connected.
