Another instance of a Church changing to suit society, rather than trying to change society with the Word as it appears in The Holy Bible. No Church will be saved from the down-slide into apostasy.

I get comfort from being a member of a nondenominational church that relies on the Bible rather than religion...

With all due respect, there is no such thing as a "non-denominational" Church. There are inter-denominational Churches but not "non-denominational." If someone who believed that Jesus wasn't God and claimed he didn't need the Bible, would you accept him or re-catechize him?

If there are fundamental tenants of faith that you ascribe to, you are a denomination by definition.

Twaddle. The Church consistently teaches and has taught the doctrine of creation; how God chose to accomplish that is not covered in the clearly allegorical accounts in Genesis.

Exactly. It's amazing how even Christians get duped by what is probably Satan's most successful campaign of lies ever. To be clear, there is no conflict between real science and the Bible, but even if there was, I'll take the Word of an everlasting God EVERY time over the speculations and conjectures of ever-shifting mankind. If it weren't so incredibly tragic in that it causes countless lost souls, the notion of twisting what God said with perfect clarity, to make it fit the silliness of evolution would be utterly laughable.

The Bible never changes. Evolution changes constantly. Every time a new piece of evidence comes to light that disproves some long-held tenet, a brand new series of conjectures is whipped up and put into place to make it fit once more.

It's still sad, but it's also understandable when unbelievers fall for it. After all, the Bible prophesied ages ago that truth would sound like foolishness to those who are blind in unbelief. As long as they choose to remain in that state, their minds are incapable of seeing the truth of the Bible. But for Christians to join the secular world in the destruction of scripture in order to look "enlightened," in order to fit in and be thought "smart," is purest tragedy.

It's as if they're saying, "Sure, God, I know you're timeless and omnipotent and all-knowing and all that good stuff. And I know you wrote down your version of what happened and all, but sheesh, God, your version just doesn't match up with what this old man came up with 150 years ago when he looked at some bird beaks, so I figure you either mis-remembered what really happened, or that old goofball Moses wrote it down wrong or something. So, thanks for all that torture and dying stuff You went through for me, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to go with what the really smart people say on this issue."
