Generally I tend to agree with other atheists about evolution. However, when we do disagree with one another we never hold dogmatically to any view, but are always willing to concede the point if we are proven wrong. The difference with Christians, I find, is that when there is a disagreement among you it tends to be on some point that neither side wants to relinquish.

If you were really an atheist who understood atheism which means understanding evolution you would understand what has been asked. The fact that you don't suggests your knowledge of atheism and evolution is found wanting and you are nothing more than a cultural atheist. In other words it is convenient for you.
One thing I have noticed is that most atheists do not have an original thought. Most of the time they just parrot what they have been told and do not understand what they are talking about. How do I know this? Simple. The same ideas and phrases appear add infinitum. A bit like muslims who learn the Koran word for word but they have no idea what it means.

I am going to come at this question from a different direction this time. I do understand the point: If Adam and Eve are a myth, and the Fall is a myth, then there is no need for Christ's salvation – no need for Christianity; therefore the myth is essential. I do understand, but that doesn't change the mythical appearance of the story. I think you may be in a bit of a quandary.
Would that be anything like Christians using the same scriptural passages over and over? Do you know how many times I've heard Psalm 14, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God”?
Mustaphadrink, when creationists ask the same questions over and over again about some point of evolutionary theory of course they are going to get the same explanation. What you've said really doesn't make a lot of sense. So go ahead, give me an example of what you mean an I will explain why I must use a particular answer.

Do you seek God? Do you seek to glory Him? If not, you might be at the state of total depravity, I do not say that proudly. The bible describes this as the state in which man lives by his own rules instead of God's. That he is too worldly guided to actually desire God. Every human whether at one point or the rest of their lives experiences this. The bible says you must be drawn by God to seek God, you cannot do that on your own because it's impossible in the state of total depravity. The reason is because we had fallen from grace.
[h=3]Exodus 20:17[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's
Don't be jealous. You can be protective, but that is different than Jealousy.
[h=3]Galatians 5:19-21[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Envyings is a form of jealousy, some interpretations actually just put Jealousy instead of envyings. Covet, Jealous, Envy, they're extremely similar. I just put a NT quote and an OT quote for ya.
Spoken by a true atheist who projects his limited understanding of God and his creation onto everyone else and expects us to believe it is gospel.
A man who was 600 years old then was normal. He was not the only man that was 600 years old, therefore he would have been no different to anyone else so the idea of worshiping him is lunacy itself.
When you try and explain the supernatural with natural thinking you get into all sorts of difficulties and end up believing that man knows more than God when the bible is very clear on that one that the foolishness of God is greater than the wisdom of man.
When you think you know more than God you start making all sorts of weird claims and nonsensical man made thought bubbles.

Two things. There is no mention of an apple in the scriptures but I realise that accuracy is not one of your traits. Everyone who has been blinded by satan will have difficulty with these facts because satan does not want you to know the truth as he is the father of lies so it is obvious that he is going to convince you that lies are the truth.
