No, that's the way evolutionists would like it to be - ie, to see Christianity fragmented.

Clue for the clueless: The *majority* of Americans who accept the validity of evolution are *Christians*. As far as I can tell, so are most Freeper evolutionists, although I haven't polled them.

Clue for the clueless #2: Over 10,000 Christian clergy have signed a statement clearly endorsing evolutionary biology:

[Excerpt:] "We the undersigned, Christian clergy from many different traditions, believe that the timeless truths of the Bible and the discoveries of modern science may comfortably coexist. We believe that the theory of evolution is a foundational scientific truth, one that has stood up to rigorous scrutiny and upon which much of human knowledge and achievement rests. To reject this truth or to treat it as “one theory among others” is to deliberately embrace scientific ignorance and transmit such ignorance to our children. We believe that among God’s good gifts are human minds capable of critical thought and that the failure to fully employ this gift is a rejection of the will of our Creator. To argue that God’s loving plan of salvation for humanity precludes the full employment of the God-given faculty of reason is to attempt to limit God, an act of hubris. We urge school board members to preserve the integrity of the science curriculum by affirming the teaching of the theory of evolution as a core component of human knowledge."

I refer to the last lines of what you posted in your post #864...about the attempt to limit God....this is what I have felt to be very true about creationists...they want God to conform to the very narrow rigid view they have of Him, and will accept nothing else...I see it as trying to put God into a little box, and demanding that He conform to a preconceived notion of what some human demands that He is...

I find God to be much more powerful, much more magnificient, much more creative, than any human can ever imagine Him to be...

Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies!

The vast majority of evolutionists are atheists. Their ultimate intent is the destruction of Christianity and the culture it gave rise to. Of course there are also a few brainwashed Christians who believe in this evolution nonsense. But anyone who professes to be a Christian and a follower of Darwinism is affected by doublethink, or the concept of holding two contradictory ideas in one's mind and accepting both of them at the same time.
