God and evolution can't both be true

In response to my opponent's first negation I would like to point out that: 1. ) The bible is not a reputable source 2. ) Saying that the bible and evolution have conflicts does not disprove god or evolution. 3. ) My opponent is not arguing the correct resolution. What he is basically arguing is "The interpretation of God through the bible and evolution can't both be true," Instead of "God and Evolution can't both be true" Now: >>> if we take the evolutionist's viewpoint and say that it took millions, maybe trillions of years for a simple bacteria to evolve into a human, we must accept that before humans, there was death. <<< Yes, but death for bacteria and primitive apes, not humans. Once humans finally evolved, the first one died which goes along with what the bible says. It says that the first humans died. Then >>> I never said disproving the bible disproves God <<< So then why do you use the bible as an accurate representation of God? And say that if the ideals of evolution contradict the ideals of the bible, only one of them can exist? Answers to your questions 1. ) Q: Was there death before men? A: yes 2. ) Q: Since Adam was created in the sixth day, how could he have died at the age of about 900? If one day were, let's say, a million years, he wouldn't have lived even halfway through the sixth day. The Bible says that Adam died after he was sent out of the Garden of Eden, so that would mean that he lived AT LEAST the sixth day. If it were anything more than 900 years, we would have serious problems. A: Do you seriously believe he lived 900 years? And the whole story of Adam and Eve is just a representation of god modeling man through evolution. 3. ) Q: Since the evolution is going on, how can the Bible say that God finished the creation? A: God finished the original creation, and then left the rest to evolution. Before you argue this, Adam and Eve had children who had different traits than their parents This is part of evolution in itself, as is every generation. You can't deny the evidence right in front of you. 4. ) Q: Since evolution teaches us that when humans first came into existance they couldn't read or write, nor speak a language (other than grunts and nods) how could Adam, the first human do so? Genesis 2:20 "So the man gave names to all livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts in the field. " Therefore he spoke a complicated language. Genesis 3:20 "Adam named his wife Eve. .. " Genesis 5:1 "This is the WRITTEN account of Adam's life. " From the last quote we can suggest that Adam could write, and wrote down his bloodline and life. A: The bible was written down by mortal men who had no proof as to the accuracy of any of their writings. Then my opponent says that he doubts there are billions of Catholics who believe in evolution. I meant to say Christians but my opponent got his facts wrong. There are in fact, about 1.1 Billion Catholics and 1.5 to 2.1 Billion Christians. . http://en.wikipedia.org... . http://en.wikipedia.org... >>> The Pope is just a human. Nothing else. If the Pope says that humans are really green bananas, does that mean he's right? No. <<< The whole bible was written by humans and nothing else. If they say that the earth was created in seven days does that mean they are right? No. (this is what I said) ~I would also like to point out to my opponent that nearly every Christian denomination believes or at least accepts theistic evolution. ~ >>> I doubt it. And still. .. "If ten thousand people believe that cows can fly, they must be right. " <<< You should read this then hauki20 . http://en.wikipedia.org... Then my opponent says I have failed to negate his points. Seeing as how they all came fro the bible, I have negated them. As I have said the bible is just scribblings by human beings. BOTH CAN BE TRUE
