How the heck can you claim to know that when you haven't read it completely???
Regardless of whether a god exists, it is a concept.
Which, in context, means to repopulate given that the all-loving man upstairs had just drowned every living thing on the planet bar 8 people, several million animals and a vast array of bacteria with morally questionable intentions. To think of all the bacteria Noah's body must have played host to. Sheesh.
Nowhere in that is there an indication of evolution, (regardless to theist definitions).
Respect is a human concept. Is it gods concept as well? How do you know? Where in the bible does it talk about respect in this context?
it's common sense.
i was referring to adam, not noah.
but don't you think that there were some significant changes made within the human race because of a near extinction, and the environmental consequences of a world wide deluge?
It doesn't bother me if people believe things that seem absurd. And don't take that as an attack, because I do believe in some absurd possibilities myself, 
.
However I sure hope others beliefs aren't so strong that those people don't at least explore other more rational explanations. I would also hope that those same people don't only believe in that one thing, because if people only see one possible explanation, no amount of logic can change their belief! I leave many doors open. When one of my doors closes, I'm happy to rule out one of my possibilities. If I only had one door open, I would never close that 1 door!
If Jesus ever did exist (which I am pretty neutral about in the first place), I would imagine he was a man that saw too much hate, so he tried to spread love.
He likely explored some of the same spiritual stuff as some still explore today, but he actually tried to do something.
He probably was a great MAN, so great that after he was crucified his story lived on. Afterall, Jesus wasn't the only one to be crucified, but no one else has such a great story!
He became a symbol, and the stories got glorrified. His legacy became much stronger than his actual life. And perceptions of the stories being passed down became more and more fairytale.

So far, we can assume god does not interact with you as your request to have him visit me goes unheard.
So, until that happens, we can conclude you're making it up.

I don't think that God respects humans a whole lot.. not their needs and not their lives.
I do. I think its pretty obvious that humans don't though.
Yes they are mutually exclusive. You imply that God is a naturalistic cause, but it's the opposite. Only when naturalistic explanations fail is there room for some odd thing to occur.
What odd thing?
How do we determine objectively what is 'odd'? I find all explanations odd.
Isn't evolution a response to environment? If significant changes took place within the environment like a flood that wipes out all but 1 family and takes its toll on nature, don't you think that would equate to an evolutionary change?

No, it doesn't equate to evolutionary change.
Although the gene frequencies changed (probably) it wasn't because of evolution, it was because of a flood.
I would think it equates to extinction..
because your comprehension is shot. just like your integrity and your capacity of being honest;
evolution or transmutation (per darwin) is caused by environmental change...
perhaps like the flooding of your mind with facts to wipe out the shit in your brain; could make a difference with your life too.
