As long as we address evolution as a theory, there is no problem with me. It's only an unproven science. The Bible, on the other hand, is absolute truth.

This is what I read:
"As long as we address gravity as a theory, there is not problem with me. It's only an unproven science. The ancient book full of superstitious myths, on the other hand, is absolute truth."

There's a none-to-subtle difference in conceptions though. While there can be, (and are), different testable theories extant to account for the existing phenomenon attributed to "gravity", there are no testable religious 'theories' to account for the same
gravitational phenomenon.  Religious beliefs are not testable theories, (being faith-based declarations lacking any evidentiary basis), and therefore are not on par with 'scientific' theories.  We've got evidence that gravitational phenomenon exists; we don't have similar evidence that substantiates the superstitious claims of religious myths therefore, such claims cannot be considered as absolutely truthful, (or even partially truthful ... or, remotely truthful ... let's face it; such claims have never met the "truth" and wouldn't know it if it bit them on the  :bootyshake:).

One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.
