Well, this is just ludicrous. I don't have time to completely address all the hogwash contained herein, but let me address a couple issues very rapidly.

First, the issue of hermeneutics concerning biblical texts:
1) Knowing what the greater narrative of the bible actually is does not - I repeat, NOT make me a theist. It simply means I fully comprehend what it is that I am rejecting. I'm sorry if you've confused this issue, but it's simply not my task to show you where you are in error. "Picking apart" the particular passage I have selected should here be understood as ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDING THE TEXT. No piety need be involved...just logic.

2) The inerminable straw men are really starting to bug me. I am no theist, nor creationist (you conlate the two...very amusing), nor Christian, nor any of your other detested adversaries. I am simply someone who cannot stand browbeating, pretentious charlatans.

3) Representing a position does not necessarily entail accepting it, so if I challenge you with a particular "theistic" argument, all you really have to do is worry about refuting it -- not deciphering my supposed religious beliefs. Honestly, do you people even understand how argumentation works?

4) There are many problems concerning the existence of a creator being. Design is the weakest form of proof, as we all know. Theodicy is, in my opinion, the strongest, with cosmology a close second. If you wish to address COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENTS, then please do so. If you cannot, then you have no right to your positions, as you have not successfully refuted all counterpositions.

5) I'm not impressed (nor should anyone be) by your predictably poor treatment of serious debate. If you can address this issue maturely, then we can of course continue, but - again - only if you can STOP asserting that I am in fact a creationist, STOP slandering me on your forums, STOP cowering from the actual arguments I have supplied (Kalam, etc.) and STOP pretending to have vitiated my position or discredited my right to argue by - again - unrightfully claiming I am in fact a creationist.

P.S. By the bye, you might enjoy a quick read on the genetic fallacy. Even if...I'm sorry...let me put that in all caps and in bold red letters so that I can be in line with the RRS protocol and INSTANTLY WIN the argument before it begins...(okay maybe just bold-faced) EVEN IF I WERE A THEIST, WHICH I AM NOT, THIS DOES NOT INVALIDATE ALL MY CLAIMS, ARGUMENTS, POSITIONS, ETC. THIS IS A FALLACY AND YOU ARE ALL GUILTY OF POOR LOGIC. DEBATE THE INFINITE REGRESS OF CAUSALITY OR DELETE THIS THREAD. HONESTLY, YOU ONLY LOOK LIKE FRUSTRATED CHILDREN.

There...unlike you, I don't enjoy resorting to such measures. Anyways, debate the topic at hand or this should not continue. To the Kalam cosmological argument, then, if you could.
