"Can one be a Christian and yet reject the idea that God made the heavens and the earth and all that in them is?"

Yes, my definition of "created" and yours probably differ drastically

Interesting. When you can't agree on definitions it makes debating difficult.

I always thought there was a pretty standard definition of that word. The standard definition as used in the Bible (and every other book I've ever read) is to bring into being or to cause to exist.

What is your own personal definition of "create"?

And while you are at it, what is your definition of "A Christian?" Do you believe such things as: The Deity of Christ? His Virgin Birth? His sinless life? His vicarious death on the cross for the atonement of your sins? His bodily resurrection?

Just Curious.
