It's a package deal . . .

If, with respect to the sciences they believe the same thing, then I suppose so. But insofar as their religious beliefs depart from Scripture, I must part their company and I have.

Right. More or less the response I get every time I point that out - the classic "one true Scotsman" argument. Anyone who supports evolution gets lumped in with Marx and Stalin, but you get to disclaim anyone who does evil in the name of God, because they aren't "good Christians", or whatever the particular formulation is.

Very clever, but it's still an invalid and illegitimate argument. The truth of a theory or belief does not depend on the niceness or nobility of its believers, luckily for Christians.
