Evolution And The Bible Both Ca
+——————————————-+ |EVOLUTION AND THE BIBLE CAN’T BOTH BE TRUE.|
All we have to do is compare the Genesis account and the theory of evolution point by point to see that the two are completely incompatible. If one is true, the other must be false.

+================================================+
There are at least thirty other direct contradictions between the Bible and the theory of evolution, but you get the idea. These two accounts absolutely rule each other out. If either is true, then the other is not just a myth, it’s dead wrong.
