I can quote scripture too!
"Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:" Mathew 11:20 (Jesus condemns entire cities to hell because they didn't listen to him)
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." Matthew 10:34 (Pretty self explanatory, and contradictory of itself)
"He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal." John 12:25 (I guess we should all hate life,
)
"Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom." Matthew 25:1 (Who said only muslims had a thing for virgins in heaven)
"(As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord
" Luke 2:23 (I guess only men are born holy)
"And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life." Matthew 19:29 (Jesus wants you to abandon your family)
"And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them." Genesis 6:7 (I guess God really hates us all)
"These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters." Genesis 11:10-11 ( I guess living to 600 years old was totally common back then
)
The point of all this is to prove that quoting scripture is a preposterous argument against evolution, as the same scripture you quote from also says all of these ridiculous and contradictory things.
The Bible claims that light came to earth before the sun, that plants came before light (how could they photosynthesize without light?), and that the entire planet and sun were created in 6 days, and that Men were among the first inhabitants on earth. And that those men all lived well into their 600's, and that the world is only a few thousand years old, that for some reason god only chose to reveal himself to the Jews while ignoring everyone else, ever since and ever before, and many many other preposterous things.
Since we know for a fact that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, and that man is nowhere close to the first inhabitants on earth, and that plants cannot exist without the sun, isn't the bible kind of discredited as a historical record?
