First of all this debate is NOT about biblical authority and accuracy. It's about the scientific data which you are ignorant of.

I disagree. This isn't about science, this is about faith in what God's Word does say. Can science PROVE evolution? If not (and it cannot) then its about faith, not science.

Bologna. Prax you well know that there are literal and figurative scriptures. Do you think God literally has wings? Do you think I take EVERY scripture literally. I've seen your reaction when trinitarians misrepresent your views, so please don't misrepresent mine. I will try to return the favor.
The only leg that theistic evolutionists have to stand on concerning
Genesis 1 is that it is figurative/poetic, which is a very weak point.
Genesis 1 is not presented as figurative or poetry, it is not referred to in other scripture as anything but a literal account, and the methods which define Hebrew poetry are lacking from the creation account.
This isn't about hyperliteralism, its about what does the Bible say, and really I don't think its that difficult to discern the creation account.

1)I never said you DID directly deny the authority of the Bible, same for Pelathias. I have GREAT respect for both of you. I do believe that the logical end of believing in theistic evolution IS to deny the Bible, not explicitly and blatantly, but implicitly and subtly. IOW I know neither of you would CLAIM to deny the Bible, but atheists would absolutely love your position becuase it is against Biblical inerrancy and authority.
2)I'm not seeing many Biblical points, what Biblical points aren't we handaling, especially relating to the topic?
