Which is the point myself and other evolutionists make all the time about creationists who constantly asked pointed questions that make no sense in terms of what evolutionary theory claims. For example, they will say 'How did we evolve from chimpanzees when there are still chimpanzee?' We are constantly correcting creationists and telling them this is not a claim being made by evolution. This is only one example, there are many others. This happens so frequently that it begins to look as though most creationists understand very little about evolution.
Yeah, the question 'How did we evolve from chimpanzees when there are still chimpanzee?' might not be the best worded question, but I think we can all see what they are trying to ask and point out about evolution. Now I wouldn't ask that question, but here's a couple examples of what I would ask in relation to what is trying to be conveyed to the evolutionists.
"How did non-chimpanzees evolve into chimpanzees?" (remember, if the evolutionary tree is true, the single living cell that at the base of the tree must have evolved into every animal we see today. That cell is not a chimpanzee, so evolution is making a claim that non-chimpanzees evolved into chimpanzees. And you can replace chimpanzee with any animal you want.
"What is a chimpanzee evolving into, and how do we know/determine when it evolves into something that isn't a chimpanzee?" (if non-chimpanzees evolve into chimpanzees as evolution claims, then the animals we have today should be evolving into something else, like this chimpanzee to non-chimpanzee question)
Unlike you I think nothing in Genesis makes sense except in terms of an ancient belief system. It’d be happy to argue Genesis line by line with you, in another thread, if you are so inclined. Once Genesis is demonstrated wrong then there is no need to deny the scientific evidence in biology, geology, astronomy, chemistry, and so.
Well, we could do that, but I think it would be a huge waste of time for both of us, because it seems we both have already made up our minds and did our own research on the subject, and I'm not sure about you, but I'm not about to change any of those beliefs. You can claim that you can demonstrate Genesis is wrong, but you won't get me to agree with that claim. If the vice-versa is true for you, then it would be an utterly pointless discussion.
Is it safe to say though that if your are open to the possibility about being wrong, then your belief in something isn't that strong?
Now that's an interesting question, to which you might be on to something there. At the moment I'm inclined to agree with that statement.
