"You stupid Evolving People"
I was going to write something sarcastic, but this phrase is simply unsurpassable...

I've nothing against the facts of the bible being taught in school, it's just all the lies and misinformation in there I'm against.

"You stupid Evolving People"
Ok, seriously, I want to call poe on this because it's so lolarious, but I'll bite. Individuals don't evolve—populations do. At least take high-school Biology before you try to say anything about evolution.

My cat is at this very moment running "round & round the living room". This proves that my living room is a sphere! Also, it has been known that the world is round since, like, forever.

"this was penned 400 years BEFORE Kopernikus"
Ignoring, for a moment, that this moron thinks Kopernikus discovered the world was round - does he think the Bible was written around 1000 AD?

"round & round the world"
Like a record player needle. No, that doesn't say the Earth is a Sphere as the Bible has already described the Earth as a FLAT circle.
And again: I know you people think the answer to everything is contained in the Bible but you're wrong. If you were correct about this you would have at least several verses in a row which describe something in detail, not out of context short phrases.
You look for guidance and answers by hopping all over the book and tie together verses from several different chapters all the time. You might as well use any book of fiction if that your idea of researching revelations, Jules Verne books would come closer to reality then your Bible even with your stupid method.
The way you defend Biblical truth is the same way you attack scientific literature, dishonestly and out of context.

The Ancient Greeks determined that the world was spherical you idiot.

Because the BEST and ONLY way to recognise the TRUTH are random WORDS in all CAPS.

Round and round the flat disk that was Earth, stupid. What about "the four corners of the Earth"?
If it indeed says in the Bible that the Earth is a Sphere, why didn't some theologians tell the world about it?
Why was the Church adamantly opposing the idea of a round Earth orbiting the sun, when it first surfaced?
If that is TRULY God speaking to you, he doesn't know the first thing about Biology.
It's not a scientific THEORY, until it has evidence supporting it, and no evidence falsifying it.
Scientific THEORY = layman's FACTS, idiot!

"If you want to teach kids the TRUTH, teach them the most scientific FACTS, that appear in the Bible,"
Well if there were any, we would. But their aren't, however there are lots of facts in the Koran, so we'll teach that.

That's right! I stopped evolving a long time ago. I'm a Neanderthal and FUCKING PROUD!

Obvious PoE. Made me laugh with the "stupid evolving people" and "Kopernikus" comments though.

"ONE EXAMPLE IS: In the Book Of Isaiah, God tells us how His Spirit goes "round & round the world" and this was penned 400 years BEFORE Kopernikus discovered that world was round, and not flat, as most believed at the time, etc."
Copernicus did no such thing. He showed, mathematically, that the Earth revolves around the Sun--something that was known, but not proven, for at least a few centuries prior to that, though the precious Church wouldn't acknowledge it.
The ancient Greek Eratosthenes was the one that showed, again mathematically, that the Earth was round. That was way the hell back in ~200 B.C.E. Even before him, anyone standing on the shore watching a ship disappear over the horizon would have been able to hypothesize that the Earth was not flat.

And yet you'll notice that the Bible is not written even remotely like a science text. No one in thousands of years has ever used the Bible to advance human scientific knowledge. That should tell you something.

Judging from this post, you should be more careful about whom you deem to be stupid.

Well maybe if you'd only choose to evolve into a human, you'd understand what evolution is all about.
And you besmirch the name of the real Super Dave Osborn.

Yeah, like I'm gonna take the word of a dork who names himself after a doofy, klutzy spoof Evel Knievel-type character.
And he misspelled "Copernicus"...and Copernicus discovered that planets revolve around the Sun. The Earth's shape is not something he discovered.
Possibly a POE here. Huffington Post does tend to attract "Mighty Righty" trolls & such.
Hey, Super Dave...go jump off the CN Tower again! I'd like a repeat of you going *SPLAT*!

I suspect that this is a Poe. That "evolving people" thing especially sets off the Poe alarm in my head.
Plus the historical inaccuracies are too huge for Super Dave to be serious.

Gods don't give a crap about what you believe regarding how we got here.
An evil god would, however send followers to Hell for eternal torture just because they believe something a little different that "poof poof you're all here" notions. Your god's a fucking dick. Glad it doesn't exist.
