Evidence the Bible is true: none.
Evidence evolution is a fact: plenty.

Assertions are not evidence and using the Bible to assert that the Bible is true is circular (see my flying spaghetti monster satirical post from the other day).

The Bible teaches something, but it is reality which evidences it.
The Bible gives us God's guidance on things, but it is the nature
of reality and our existence which confirms that what the Bible
teaches is accurate.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his
handywork." is an assertion with no evidence to back it up. A great man
(Christopher Hitchens) once said that an assertion without evidence can
be dismissed without evidence and I do indeed dismiss it.

In other words you cannot back up your argument, as usual. You are not

I don't know if you think statements like this bother me? Or if you
feel like you're getting one-up on me?
 
I present you the truth of God as is revealed in the Bible, and in
all of creation. I've presented to you evidence that DNA could not
possibly have come about by random chance, and that evolution is now
completely disproven by an examination of the workings of DNA, and
what we've found is so staggeringly evidencing of design that even
Richard Dawkins now admits intelligent design (though he ascribes
it to aliens seeding the planet).
 
This information I give you is the truth, Leigh. If you are unable
or unwilling to accept it it's not my fault. It's because you aren't
being saved. It's because you're not willing to hear the truth, or
if you are hearing it you're more willing to dismiss it than accept
it.
 
Our relationship is me teaching, and me also listening to you in
your responses to learn how to be a better teacher, but that's it.
You don't owe me anything. If you're content to go through life
without investigating these things I point out to you then fine.
Don't. I've told you what the risk is of not pursuing these things,
that you will be wrong, that you are deceived, and that your eternal
soul will be cast into eternal Hellfire. If that means nothing to
you, then don't investigate it.
 
My hands are completely clean of your blood because I have taught
you the truth. It is not my job to make you believe it, nor could
I ever do so. Only God can draw you, and that drawing is internal,
not external.

I know in whom I have believed, Melzzzzz. I put my entire life in
His hands. And in my weakness, in so doing, am I made strong because
it's not by me that I am saved, but it's only by Him. He knows my
true heart, and my desire to do what's right even though I fail so
very often.

The Bible asserts that God created the firmament without evidence of
same. The fact that the firmament exists is not evidence that God
created it. Please provide some independent evidence that the assertion
the Bible is making is true without reference to the Bible itself (as it
is making the assertion).
 
What is your evidence that God created the firmament?

In the above page, "implement" is missing an "i", and there's no need
to capitalize "Programs."
 
In lesson 2, the first program:
 
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
int n;
n = 4;
cout << n;
return 0;
}
 
doesn't compile with g++ version 7.2.1:
 
pvr1.cxx:1:10: fatal error: iostream.h: No such file or directory
#include <iostream.h>
 
This version of the program compiles, and produces cleaner results
with a newline after the output:
 
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
int n;
n = 4;
std::cout << n << std::endl;
return 0;
}

You're right. Nowadays it's inadmissible that people still have in their
minds "iostream.h" :-O
 
But I have to say that it's not weird at all, people in India still use
the ancient Turbo C/C++. Why? it's a mystery to me.

India's education budget is something like 45 US$ in average per student
annually so nothing mysterious there.

Budget constraints can't be sufficient justification for that choice,
because there are several free compilers, even for Windows, that are
much more up-to-date and do a much better job of compiling the code than
Turbo C/C++.

Perhaps - but the C standard never uses "newline", and the C++ standard
only uses it 4 times, presumably as an editing error. Both standards
overwhelmingly prefer "new-line".

Well, I don't totally agree with your comment: I am from Argentina (also
I Work for an Indian company). We are not "a first world" country (we
have problems with our free education system too, but maybe it's not
comparable to India), but I stopped using Turbo C/C++ in 1994. There are
no excuses, nowadays you can pick an OS and an up to date C++
compiler/IDE for free.

But we don't know that Turbo C++ is the problem here, do we?

Turbo C is really good. I wish we had an updated version
but keeping the same simplicity and speed.

Well... IHMO yes, Turbo C/C++ IS the problem with a great number of
Indian programmers/students, they still use it a lot (just check other
forums like reddit or facebook). My "crystal ball" says the usage of
iostream.h in the metioned course can be traced to Turbo C/C++ ;-)

My CAlive language defines registered callback functions which allow
interception of failed malloc() calls without requiring the return
value be validated at every use. This allows cached resources,
temporary resources, or other resources allocated to be able to be
freed with a retry attempt possible. If it ultimately fails, then
it goes into a special run mode which allows for polite error
recovery.
 
This ability exists in CAlive because the ability to unwind exists
natively in the new "LiveCode ABI" design, and through the concept
I've added called an inquiry, which is a type of program state which
suspends to the debugger when possible, allowing the code to be
fixed with edit-and-continue (LiveCode) and re-applied to the running
ABI, or to a wrapper function at runtime which can politely capture
information and exit the program.
 
I also allow registered callbacks for malloc() when memory is reaching
thresholds, to allow a process to be stopped before the actual malloc()
call fails.
 
CAlive is a re-thinking of how C/C++ code should be. It's still in
development, but it has goals ultimately to replace nearly all of C
programs, and to greatly simplify a great many C++ applications.

ISO C about text streams
 
C++ inherits this, so a portable program has to terminate
the last line with a new-line character (also spelt:
"newline" instead of "new-line").
