"As a scientist, Darwin could not affirm the specific theological doctrines of Christianity."
Actually, Charles Darwin's college degree was in Theology, not biology as some might expect. He was more qualified to comment on theology than science.
I agree, believing in evolution and being a Conservative are not a problem.
I still disagree that one can be religious (in all senses of the word- which includes Christians with a literal interpretation of Genesis and the NT) and espouse the THEORY of evolution.
As far as what the truth is, both theories have components that are not falsifiable.
What has been falsified are things such as Piltdown man, (with the orangutangs teeth filed down) and Otto Benga, the African Pigmy who was hailed as the missing link by Darwinists and put in the New York Zoo around 1910.
Both my children's study Bible and my high school science textbook rely on cartoon drawins for evidence- what's the big deal?
At least the Bible can be verified historically through archaeology and fulfilled prophecy...
I'm assuming you're a True Christian™!
