Rather than the usual feeble attempts that most christians I have met seem to make at providing 'evidence', this one didn't even try. He even went as far as to say that evidence was irrelevant and wrong. WTF? (P.S.: This marked my 10th debate overall 8). I'm a newbie.)

Christian: When was the Bible proven false and evolution proven true?? Got it backwards, buddy!!

Me: Lets try the industrial revolution, when moths changed colour to match the trees which were covered in sut. Or the 1970's with the flavobacterium sub species observed to develop an enzyme which allowed them to digest nylon ( a manmade material, so could not have been there before). And, of course just in recent years with the lemur like creaturre's fossil being uncovered. I believe that this in paticular allows us to trace our ancestry back over 4 million years...
It of course means that there was no Adam & Eve, no Eve eating the forbidden fruit, so humans should still be in the garden of eden. As we are clearly not, the rest of the bible doesn't make any sense as it relys on this piece of information being true. How could Jesus come down to save us from sin if we have no knowladge of what sin is, for example?
Thus, the bible is untrue.

Christian: That proved absolutely nothing. Adam and Eve were our first parents. Jesus died on the cross of Calvary because of our sinful. God the Father knew we couldn't do it on our own. Besides, how do you think we got here?? Not from monkeys my friend!! Better get a grip on what's truly real before it's too late!! And once again, no proof on the industrial revolutiion!!

Me:You're right we didn't come from monkeys- we both evolved from a common ancestor.
And it doesn't seem like Jesus did a very good job of saving us from our sins does it?
Adam and Eve were our first parents? Prove it. You can't, as there is no credible scientific evidence.
If you would open your mind to even the possibility of yourself being wrong, you would see what a fool you are. Don't search for the things that prove your beliefs. Try to prove them wrong. As I have shown many years of hard work by scientists has done. I won't get a grip on whats real because I've already reached it. You on the other hand need to let go of your refuted beliefs before you realise that you've wasted your life.

C: I don't need scientific evidence. Scientific evidence is fallible at best. The Bible is all the proof i need. I suggest you take a moment to read it once in a while (and not closed minded). As for the fool, all you really need to do is take a long, hard look in the mirror. There you will find your fool. I will NEVER let go of my beliefs as long as there are people like you leaning too hard on scientific "evidence". Wake up to reality because you obviously haven't "reached it!!" END OF STORY!!

M: Firstly, I have read the bible. Multiple times. And the first time I was simply curious about what it had to offer. Then I started seeing what it truely was.
Secondly, WTF are you on about saying that "scientific evidence is fallibe at best"???!!!! I suppose that when SCIENTISTS like Pasteur and List were being fallible when they used scientific evidence. All the data that allows us to launch sattelites is scientific evidence. The very materials used to make the computer were made for maximum performance and durability using data and scientific evidence.
To be honest I think you're masquerading, if you're a real creationist/christian whatever, you are the most misinformed, arrogant or ignorant in this world. You haven't even tried to explain WHY scientific evidence is fallible, nor why the Bible is without a doubt true. Don't bother commenting back unless you are prepared to do so... as it were, save your breath for your inflatab;e wife!
(Alright, that was simply wrong. I apologize ;))

C: Being curious is one thing. Try reading it with an open mind. As far as scientific evidence is concerned, a lot of it is fallible and has been disproved time and time again. The Bible on the other hand is true and has been proven true over and over again. The only one truly masquerading and misinformed is yourself!! As far as the inflatable wife comment goes, i'll just chalk that up to your total stupidity. GET A CLUE!

M: You know for once you're right, Scientific evidence has been proven wrong time and time again. Thousands of times, probably. This is because it is science. It is not automatically right like the bible. It improves as we discover more about the universe we live in. For example, Darwin said that black people are not fully evolved. We know that now to be untrue, in fact much of Darwin's original theory has been discredited, to be replaced with a new one that, like I said, is true. Although it seems you're just too arrogant to admit it. But may I ask when the bible was proven true? The only way to do so is to gather scientific evidence, which you have already said is fallible.

C: It's too bad we can only rely on scientific evidence. Try a word called faith as far as proving the Bible to be true. Obviously this is a characteristic that you are truly lacking. Call me arrogant if you will, but, in the words of that great black singer, Aaron Neville, i "tell it like it is"!! Don't like it?? DEAL WITH IT!!

M: But still you fail to tell me when the bible was proved true. And by whom. And using what methods.
In fact, there is nothing to say it has been proved in your messages other thasn the line: "The Bible on the other hand is true and has been proven true over and over again". Faith cannot be proven. I can have faith that a pen is both of my parents, and it is from mars, but that doesn't make it true. I have faith that I did reasonably well in my exams, that does not make it true. Or can you make things true with the power of your mind alone? That would be pretty cool.

C: Do you know what faith is?? Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. You know they are there although you can't see them. Adam and Eve walked and talked with God as well as Moses, Aaron, Paul, etc..Very well documented by those prophets who were there at the time the Bible was written. Take a look for yourself and have faith. But if you still want to bind yourself to all this scientific evidence, by all means, go for it!! I know one thing for sure; we will learn the truth of all things- either in this life or especially in the life to come.

M: "Do you know what faith is?? Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen"
I hope for a million invisible chesseburgers...
Not gonna happen. I still have faith though! Yes, I have faith in something that could not possibly come true.
*Sigh* in the time you've been talking to me, you could have at least set off to do something helpful to people who actually need it. I have no interest in what you have to say anymore, unless you can put forward an actual argument. You have proved nothing, and ignored all proof set before you.You tell me to have faith, without examining both sides of the argument with an open mind (another thing you tell me to do). Go and help out at a homeless shelter. Maybe you can convince one of them, as it is clear I never will unless you present me with scientific evidence that can be confirmed. That is the way forward, not faith. Good day.

C: yes but still the wrong kind of faith as usual. You left-of center scientific evidence junkies will never get it as long as you live. Have a nice existence with all your scientific evidence because it won't matter in the end. God lives, Jesus Christ is His Only Begotten Son, and the sooner you find that out the better your life will be!!! END OF STORY!! good day.

You just can't argue with that kind of people, as they won't listen no matter what you say. They'll just slam buzz words at you without backing them up in any way and will just come with stupid stuff like conspiracy theories about science to take on your arguments. Just move on and hope they don't get any kids.

The Bible on the other hand is true and has been proven true over and over again.

Maybe you should mention how the cenus that supposedly spurred Joesph to Bethlehem has no support in historic texts, and even if it did happen Roman censuses did not require people to go back to their ancestral homes, plus even the Gospels disagree on when this census supposedly happened.
