"You can call yourself "Christian" because you have a family that may have attended a Church once, as many people do, but this does not imply those statistics are Christian."

I think most consider themselves Christian because they believe Jesus Christ died for their sins and is the route to forgiveness.

You seem to believe that Christians are defined as Christian by not believing Evolution.

You state in a post that you are an IDist. I hope you are aware that most IDists say they believe an alien race could be the designer. How does that fit in with your definition of IDist?

I do not know where you found me makin such claim, because this would be incorrect.

"You state in a post that you are an IDist. I hope you are aware that most IDists say they believe an alien race could be the designer. How does that fit in with your definition of IDist?"

In the least IDists integrate an intelligent force. They do not decline Evolution, but they do not decline an Intellient force. Evolution makes no such claim to protect Christianity, but defines life through various natural or random causes. Evolution has not implemented a protective layer for religion. (The generic Evolution theories that I have seen, or been forced to read in my educational process.)

Try not to go any farther down this line of argument. Before you know it you're into multi-cornered arguments as to whether Catholics, Protestants, Mormons and others are really Christians.
