I don't really like the way SU went about his point but I am somewhat symphatitic to it. Referring to testimony has its place and I thought your use of it was within that place. However, I often find that appeals to to testimony are used as a bludgeon to end debate or to signal to others that they clearly aren't on the Lord side or that their testimony is somehow lacking (I don't think that is what you were doing). Testimony, to a large degree, is a tactical nuclear weapon, in a conventional weapon war.

I'm all in favor of non-nuclear religious discussions. I've been a strong advocate of disarmament.

Adam had 900 years to move from Missouri to Africa, I'm sure he could've done it.

You hear this argument in Mormon circles: that Adam migrated to Missouri to finally bless his posterity which was possible because of the single land mass and Adam living a long time. At least I have (it seems like Chino was joking about it but I have heard people seriously advance this argument). I have also never understand how this works for people or the kind of underlying assumptions they are making about the geology and biology. I think Pangaea is hypothesized to have split apart from 250 million to like 50 million years ago and the first fossil record of a homo-sapien is dated to about 250,000 years ago.
