The Word of God has been proven to be true countless times.

It said thousands of years ago many times that the universe was stretched out and we can actually see the evidence of that today.

It says things reproduce after their kind and we can see that is true.

The Bible speaks of dinosaurs and we have found the bones to prove they existed.

Evolution has failed to prove anything. It is not able even to make any one of the billions of steps that is required of it because that kind of magic is nothing more than baseless fantasy.

Do you perhaps have a recording of this Word of God that I could listen to instead?

"It said thousands of years ago many times that the universe was stretched out and we can actually see the evidence of that today."

No. It doesn't. If it's the reference I think you're referring to you're stretching quite a bit.

"It says things reproduce after their kind and we can see that is true."

General observation does not divine revelation make.

"It says the world was destroyed by a flood [...] with that many perfect layers around the entire globe."

This would be impressive if it were true. It's not though, so it isn't.

"The Bible speaks of dinosaurs and we have found the bones to prove they existed."

Read more carefully. Your "behemoth" reference, which is what you nuts usually cite for "dinosaurs" in the Bible says that the "sinews of its stones" were visible along with its navel. Being hatched from an egg it wouldn't have a navel; it also wouldn't have any external "stones," sinewy or not.

"Evolution has failed to prove anything."

You've likely not died from some easily treatable disease or other thanks to evolution.

"It is not able even to make any one of the billions of steps that is required of it because that kind of magic is nothing more than baseless fantasy."

I'll take your word for it. You seem to be an expert on baseless fantasy after all.

The Word of God has been proven to be true countless times.

Um, no it hasn't. Sorry.

It said thousands of years ago many times that the universe was stretched out and we can actually see the evidence of that today.

Shamelessly taken out of context. That verse refers to the Ancient Near Eastern belief that the sky was a literal dome and night was God throwing a blanket over it. The stars were believed to be jewels studded in said blanket.

Now you aren't even being coherent. The laws of chemistry make it so that atoms MUST combine in particular ways, so the formation of organic materials is no more up to random chance than the direction of a dropped object is up to random chance.

It says things reproduce after their kind and we can see that is true.

Assuming you're referring to the fact that, say, fish don't give birth to monkeys (and if you think they should according to evolution, you're an idiot and/or a liar for Jesus), well it's not like the ancients were so stupid that they didn't notice that like tends to beget like. A child can figure that out by themself. It isn't rocket science, nor does such knowledge require divine intervention!

Lying for Jesus. (The most despicable type of lie.) Any geologist can tell you that the aftermath of a flood, as seen in the geologic record, is very specific and cannot be mistaken for anything else. That same geologist can also tell you that nowhere is there a record of a flood which covered the entire world. (And they aren't lying, because such a lie would be impossible to cover up, since they can and will show you what evidence of a local flood looks like.)

The Bible speaks of dinosaurs and we have found the bones to prove they existed.

Dinosaurs were not dragons. At no time before the late Medieval era were dragons considered anything except giant snakes, possibly with wings and legs. Therefore, the Bible does not speak of dinosaurs.

Evolution has failed to prove anything. It is not able even to make any one of the billions of steps that is required of it because that kind of magic is nothing more than baseless fantasy.

Completely and utterly wrong. Google "evidence of evolution" one of these days. Not only does evolution fulfill all of the requirements for a scientific theory, but you must have overstocked on mirror polish, because it is creationism that has failed to prove anything and is unable to make even one of the billions of evidences required of it because that kind of magic is nothing more than baseless fantasy. You and your ilk aren't even trying anymore, are you?

"The Word of God has been proven to be true countless times" tl;dr...

The Big Bang will soon be explained by either Fermilab or CERN's Large Hadron Collider finding the Higgs-Boson. The universe is proven to be around 14 billion years old (recently, the earliest galaxy known to date was discovered by astronomers; formed just 600 million years after the Big Bang).

The Earth is proven to be around 4.5 billion years old.

Darwinius massilae. Ardipithecus. The fact that we humans share at least 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees. The Flavobacterium strain that eats Nylon. A man-made material that didn't exist until the 20th Century. MRSA. Those facts, coupled with discoveries that refine what was written in "On the Origin of Species" certainly ensured this man earned his place on the back of our £10 note:

PROTIP: Charles Darwin is one of only five non-royalty persons to be buried in Westminster Abbey.

"It says there is a Creator of all matter and today we can see that all of the basic elements of the universe are the actual created working machine parts inside of us that were not able to create themselves to work that way."

O RLY? Then why doesn't the Bible give exact, precise info on what it claims - diagrams, formulae, equations; enquiring minds need to know, and all that jazz. Ergo, scientists, whose discoveries fill in the gaps. And as shown above, there's not many gaps left.

Indeed, there may be no gaps left:

My word has been proven true countless times!

20 years ago I made some vague statement and if you twist the words enough they almost seem to imply we'll have laptops and we actually see evidence of that today!

I also made another statement where, if you take it completely out of its context and reinterpret it in a way that makes absolutely no sense when reinserted into the story, it kinda sorta looks like I predicted the Higgs Boson or if it doesn't actually exist then in that case it must mean that that my quote must have specifically predicted some other particle we'll discover in the future.

I also declared that the Theory of Electromagnetism is false. Since there is no way that I can possibly twist my words this time to make it seem like I agreed with current science and I declared myself infallible, that must mean that electromagnetism is actually false.

See that? I'm always right and every science I happen to disagree with is wrong! And I've proved it!

No. No, it hasn't.

The Bible says nothing of the sort, though we can, indeed, see evidence of the Universe's expansion.

*headdesk* This is so wrong it's not even wrong.

It says things reproduce after their kind and we can see that is true.

Explain the Liger...

Tectonic plates, dipshit.

The Bible speaks of dinosaurs and we have found the bones to prove they existed.

Where does the Bible mention dinosaurs?

Evolution has failed to prove anything. It is not able even to make any one of the billions of steps that is required of it because that kind of magic is nothing more than baseless fantasy.

Gee, maybe because those steps (more like gradual advances, really) take BILLIONS OF YEARS...

"The Word of God has been proven to be true countless times."

Name one instance that necessarily proves that the Word of God is true.

"It said thousands of years ago many times that the universe was stretched out and we can actually see the evidence of that today."

Provide it.

We see that matter EXISTS. We do not see that it had an intelligent creator. You lose.

"It says things reproduce after their kind and we can see that is true."

Depends on your definition of "kind".

"It says the world was destroyed by a flood and we can see the many layers that were laid down by the currents up to nearly a half a mile thick with all of the life forms buried in those layers. There is no other possible way of laying down that many tons of sediments with that many perfect layers around the entire globe."

And WRONG. Very wrong.

"The Bible speaks of dinosaurs and we have found the bones to prove they existed."

Greek myths speak of humans and we have found humans. This proves nothing.

"Evolution has failed to prove anything. It is not able even to make any one of the billions of steps that is required of it because that kind of magic is nothing more than baseless fantasy."

M-my irony meter! You've destroyed it!

It said thousands of years ago many times that the universe was stretched out and we can actually see the evidence of that today.
Incredibly poetic language. Don't forget the Bible also says the world is a flat disc, that stars are holes in a fabric held over the earth, and that the sun revolves around it.

It says there is a Creator of all matter and today we can see that all of the basic elements of the universe are the actual created working machine parts inside of us that were not able to create themselves to work that way.
I have no idea if you are referring to atoms or cells or organs. Either way, science has an areligious explanation for all of those things and how they came to be.

It says things reproduce after their kind and we can see that is true.
It also says that if you make two goats look at a stripped pole while copulating then their offspring will bare striped patterns. We can see that this is NOT true.

It says the world was destroyed by a flood and we can see the many layers that were laid down by the currents up to nearly a half a mile thick with all of the life forms buried in those layers. There is no other possible way of laying down that many tons of sediments with that many perfect layers around the entire globe.
Actually such a global event would create a single strata layer universal across the entire globe, that features a gradient with large objects at the bottom and small objects at the top. Except we don't see anything like this at all.

The Bible speaks of dinosaurs and we have found the bones to prove they existed.
Where?
