If ever there was a thread that deserved it?

okay. This is just getting stupid. Do we even have moderators here, anymore? Or better yet, do we have any mods here who don't have issues with so many forum members that they [b]won't allow this guy to keep spewing shit like this thread? I mean, am I the only one who thinks that certain mods do nothing about this guy because they get off on how irritating the rest of us find him? [/B]

Did the Bible evolve over billions of years? Why or why not. Why do some people believe that this is not possible. I do not believe that the Bible evolved in any way, I am just making a point. Why do you believe that the Bible could not evolve? Isn't the Bible matter just like everything else? But you believe that simple, inorganic matter evolved into complex, inorganic matter which ultimately evolved into complicated life right? Well, why couldn't the Bible be a product of inorganic matter evolving into a more complex state? We have fossils (i.e. manuscripts). Maybe the Bible is still evolving from inorganic matter. Maybe one day it will evolve into a person. How do you know that this is or is not possible?
Gotta run now, but I leave you with this. Refute it if you can.

Strong case of dumbassery on your part.
Edit: As for your case, there are a couple of answers that I will give.
Scenario 1: In your world where evolution and abiogenesis does not occur, the bible will not evolve.
Scenario 2: In a world where evolution occurs but not abiogenesis, the bible would not evolve based on Cell Theory.
Scenario 3: In a world of abiogenesis and evolution, the bible itself wouldn't evolve, but if humanity died and things like books rotted over time, the atoms and molecules that once made up that one bible might find themselves in a chemically active (ie good for chemical reactions) environment.
Editx2: What Shaky is saying below me is how the bible really evolves. Call it artificial selection if you will.

Stupid!
What is meant by the bible has evolved over time is that the bible has be translated, edited, reinterpreted and flat out changed over time. This type of evolution has nothing to do with biological evolution.

You just described the theory that you espouse stupid.
What is the difference between what I wrote and the theory of evolution that you embrace?
