No amount of cosmic explosion and frogs transforming into princes can ever lead me to believe in evo-LIE-tion. Say it ain't so JesusIsAlive, say it aint so. Templares, WERE YOU THERE when those findings were documented? No? (Incidentally, I am just using you guys' mode of thinking against you). So then what makes you so sure that it is accurate?

2. If this response were a valid challenge to evolution, it would equally invalidate creationism and Christianity, since they are based on events that nobody alive today has witnessed.

The simple fact of the matter is that I cannot be pigeon-holed into any religion. Although those of us who believe in (i.e., are trusting in for salvation from sin) Jesus Christ are labeled as "Christians," we are truly just believers or disciples of Jesus.

No, people asked you what religion/denomination you are and you answered with a bunch on noncommittal cr@p. 'People would label me a Christian..." They didn't ask how other people see you, but how you see yourself; so spill it Dodgey McDodger.

Lol, no. They just interpret scripture as they will, and if someone disagrees, they are just wrong and you go to another church, if you go to church at all. Often they bounce from one congregation to another and stay as long as the doctrine taught fits their interpretation, if it doesn't they attempt to correct what they see as error and move on if the perceived error is maintained. I assume JIA is some version of this.

So they completely ignore doctrines and or facts if those said doctrines/facts do not fit their brickwall views? I see, that describes JIA perfectly. But when it comes to interpreting the Bible, I can't really rag on him for his own views of it.

Yes, their interpretation can change, but those that are like this typically do not change easily at all, if ever.

He'd have to substantiate this though, I am unsure if he would describe himself as this.
