From a Christian stand-point, calling 70+% of the U.S. population Christian is just untrue.

A more accurate statistic would be Protestant Christian pastors who support evolution, but not ID or Creationism.

From the same page,

Beliefs among conservative Christians:
In 1999-NOV, Focus on the Family, a Fundamentalist Christian agency, concluded a poll of their web site visitors concerning their beliefs about creation and evolution. Results were:

God created the universe, but I don't know when: 46%
God created the universe thousands of years ago: 43%
God created the universe billions of years ago: 10%
Life came into being and evolved on its own: 1%
I don't have a clue: 0.4% 6

I didn't think you would be big enough to accept the truth. You asked, I provided you with the info, and it was just too much for you to take.

"A more accurate statistic would be Protestant Christian pastors who support evolution, but not ID or Creationism."

What about Catholics? Are they not Christian too?

I don't like where this is going...

You are creating a false dichotomy by limiting the definition of Christian to those that do not accept evolution. The acceptance of Evolution is not restricted to atheists (or at least to non-Christians).

You can't put forward a convincing argument by redefining terms.
