Are you agnostic about whether or not the earth is flat? If not why not?

Ex-B = what are you on about? You are tying yourself in knots to avoid admitting your deception.
Name one book you have read that presents the scientific evidence for the common ancestry of life. It's a really simple question.
I have no interest in diversions into geology or origin of the universe or abiogenesis. Please stop changing the topic.
You can believe in god without hiding behind wilful ignorance of the most basic truths of science.

Okay tell me even one book you have studied on evolutionary biology. Even one. Doesn't have to be complicated one.

Iriddle - Yes I did. Unlike some evangelicals I think I always maintained a clearer distinction between Father and Son but I accepted the Son was eternal and fully God.

Stop being so silly SB. You are determined to strawman anybody who doesn't share your myths.
I spent most of my life as a theist. I was a born-again, evangelical, bible-believing, saved, adopted child of god, young earth creationist for a decade. I knew the bible intimately. I understood xtian doctrine better than most and even became part of the preaching team at the Baptist church I attended.
I know it's comforting to you to belittle a xtian apostate and dismiss them just as JWs do to their apostates. It comes from the same sort of fear. I think we could have some really productive conversations if you could behave more like somebody who is genuinely interested in understanding the position of their interlocutor instead of grandstanding and point scoring.
I REALLY understand your thoughts and beliefs. I was exactly the same as you. Everything you write proves you understand nothing at all about people who do not view faith as a virtue.

I asked you how you arrived at your rejection of biological evolution and you volunteered the fact that you had never read a single book on the subject because they are all 'long and complicated'. How am I twisting things exactly?

they are so sure they have found the truth?
That is the heart of your problem. There is no 'TRUTH' there are only 'truths' or facts and data.
It's up to every person to weigh the evidence and take account of the things that can be known when constructing their values and purpose in life.
You have it back to front. You begin with a worldview that includes god and ultimate salvation, and then filter the facts that you will admit based on whether they support or challenge it.
It is ultimately more satisfying to accept reality for what it is and find value and purpose in life.

Cofty - ExB - serious question. What books are you basing your knowledge of biological evolution on?
Ex-B - I haven’t read any books on biological evolution, but I do read a lot of books on many subjects and I think you shouldn’t need to have long complicated books if it could be proven then we evolved then it would be easy to prove through the fossil records

I have not read your specific books on biological evolution

But I haven't mentioned any specific books. You just said you haven't read ANY. A few days ago couldn't name one.
