Description

No information

I should have added in my vote that Pro's argument in R1 included mention that the description of creation in Genesis, which Pro cites, indicates that God created heaven and earth, but did not describe how it was done. This is an adequate description by Pro that evolution, itself, may have played a part in the creative process.
I would add the possibility that creation continues to this day by that means, and I see no contradiction biblically to refute the possibility, but do not make that last comment a feature of my vote because it is conjecture, and Pro did not specifically make that argument.

Care to vote? I would like to note that in the last round con accuses me of springing a "trap" and failing to specify that he has to take into account the actual original meaning of the bible and not just a flawed english translation. He says I should lose a conduct point for this, even though I said in the very first round that you have to take into account the flaws in translations and make sure you are putting it into context with the original Hebrew in mind in order to understand the real meaning of the Bible.
