Most people who accept evolution in the USA are Christians, so your dichotomy is a false one.

Yep, Baptists, and Methodists, and Jehovah's Witmnesses, and Mormons, and Roman Catholics, and and hundreds of more groups, they are all claiming to hold all the truth!

There is no dichotomy reflected in my posit. It was a simple statement of faith. I don't limit God. I doubt if many of your "Christians" are willing to burn at a stake, or have their head chopped off to keep from pledging allegiance to Islam!

He may not natter, but there is no assumption he doesn't matter.

You matter to God. He died for you ...

???

"There is no dichotomy reflected in my posit."

Yes there was. It was either you accept God or you accept evolution. That's a false dichotomy.

"You matter to God. He died for you ..."

Evolution doesn't say that people don't matter.

Your post #261 has me somewhat confused...what exactly are are you saying about the Baptists, and Methodists, and Jehovahs Witnesses and Roman Catholics?...I know you are saying that they all claim to hold the truth, are you disputing what they teach as regards Creation/Evolution, or just disputing what they teach in general?

I mean, I am sure that they each have their own religious doctrines which may or may not disagree completely with the others...not just about Creation/Evolution, but also on a whole host of other matters...

But I would think that each of the religions that you mentioned, also believe and teach the very same thing which you mentioned, that "You matter to God. He died for you"...I should think this is a prominent teaching in all those religions you mentioned, regardless of their stand on the evolution/creation debate...
