Let's cut to the chase. If as you say (and I don't disagree) the
Bible is full of homely metaphors ...

Where did I say the Bible "is FULL of HOMELY metaphors"?

Why, you listed several just recently. Windows of heaven were one of them, I
do believe.

why aren't Genesis 1 & 2 two of them?

Because evolutionists are predictably attempting to corrupt their
enemy - the Bible.

Nah. I'm too busy corrupting my real enemy - the Tao te Ching.

How anyone could think that God creating from the dust = natural god
not involved evolution from apes proves my point, especially so called
educated evolutionists who have no trouble understanding scientific
jargon but suddenly are claiming that they do not understand that the
Bible is claiming special creation - a claim that ALL Atheist scholars
admit exists in the Bible, except for a handful of ordinary lying
Darwinists at this Usenet.

Well, those six days that YOU claim to be a metaphor seem pretty damn clear
to me - you know, evenings and mornings, and so on? Strikes me that trying
to claim that six days (complete with evenings and mornings) is metaphorical
is at least much of a tortured interpretation as any attempt to make Genesis
1 & 2 square with evolution.

In fact,
don't you yourself think 'six days' to be metaphorical? If the six
days is a metaphor, why isn't 'created from the dust of the ground'
one, too?

Metaphor for what?

How about ... giving a creature already created (via evolution, naturally) a
soul, and thus raising them up out of the metaphorical dust into true
humanity. Would that work? Not that I really care; it's your holy book, not
mine. I daresay Christian and Jewish evolutionists can come up with better
ones.

Whatever you are alluding to it must make sense. But we know you are
an enraged evolutionist acting like you do not understand, attempting
to corrupt the Bible.

Oh, I'm not trying to corrupt the Bible. Christians are so much better at
that kind of thing.

Since you are an evolutionist, this is expected. Now hurry up and post
a message evading the specifics with nonsense and acting like you do
not understand, lest I be proven wrong.

I understand perfectly, kemo sabe. Talking of specifics, I do hope that your
forthcoming and eagerly-awaited paper, will, as part of your recently
announced conversion to anti-microevolutionism, refute, in detail, each and
every example of speciation that has been observed and documented both in
the wild and under experimental conditions? I asked this once before, but
recieved no reply. I can post a list of same, if you like, so that you can
make a start on it. Because unless you can explain each and every one of
those events, your attempt to disprove microevolution is doomed to failure.
