My remarks were in jest. I do believe evolution is the truth. But sometimes according to this web site it seems to be a good conservative you must believe god created the earth and all who live here. I was raised Catholic and let me tell you it was taught then that the world was created in 6 days and on the 7th god rested. If you are a believer in a religion you can't pick and choose what is and what isn't. You believe it to be true or you don't. All Christians that don't believe that man was created by god, from dust and women came from his rib, aren't true believers and hence not true to their religion.

What kind of wimpy god needs to rest?

I never sleep!

Depends on the religion. Catholics and other "orthodox" religions (and orthodox branches of others) say the same: Our doctrine is the One True Doctrine. Others, including many forms of American protestanism, some Episcopalian, etc. allow a broader personal interpretation within guidelines.

Can one be a Biblican Monotheist and/or a Christian and be a Evolutionst? Sure -- even the Catholic Church allows for alternative interpretations of parts of Genesis and some parts of the Old Testament. For that matter a lot of the Bible is still being interpreted by the Catholic Church -- that's why they have Jesuits.
