I think what really motivates most anti-evolutionists is a fear of having to defend the Bible as a less than perfect book. Thye see a slippery slope where if they admit the world was not created in 7 days, then the commandment against adultery is equally suspect.

I was a Baptist back when they still believed in dinosaurs. The anti-evolution crowd shows what happens when the hard-core fundamentalists take over an institution or movement.

Conservatives should take heed and perpetually examine their own beliefs and credos. (Like me!)

parsy, the vain.

Huh? I don't get the connection between the literal and not you are implying here.

I've no problem, let alone fear, of proclaiming the Holy Bible as the infallible, inspired word of God.

What in the name of Yehudi are talking about here?!
