So your insistence that Adam and Eve and garden of eden all existed has nothing to do with Genesis? Are you ever going to actually come out and explain what you believe? Do you still believe that truth is fluid and always changing according to the beliefs of the day? I never really got you explain how that could possibly be correct.

Obviously science has progressed far beyond Darwin. That doesn't mean that Darwin was 100% correct and that the truth has changed so that science today is now 100% correct. The whole point of science is to get closer and closer to whatever the truth is (and has always been). |

In the above statement you concede science has progressed ... that science is not 100% correct and that it's point is to get closer and closer to whatever truth is ... therefore by your own words truth is fluid. Let's apply a definition of fluid: "changing readily; shifting; not fixed, stable, or rigid" |

The truth is fixed. Science's task is to figure out what that truth is. As new evidence is discovered, science gets closer and closer to determining what the truth is about any given topic. Perhaps you're confusing "truth" with the search for truth? I just don't see any possible way for you to conclude from my words that the truth is readily changing. |

So then genes didn't actually exist until the 20th century? Scientific discovery dictates truth? The universe really was 6000 years old until the scientists decided it was much older than that? For not believing in science, it's weird that you allow them to dictate your "fluid" truth.
