I saw this with the greatest respect, and a little trepedation because most Christians that believe in evolution are ~SINCERE~ Christians, but they are ~wrong~ where they're theology is concerned (and therefore wrong on the truth of what is 6-day-literal-creation-by-miracle-by-God!
Evolution (macro-evolution) Naturalistic, can not be Compatable with The Bible becuase if YOU as a 'Christian' believe in the Bible (and in Genesis) wherein God claims that He ~created~ the world in 6-Literal days (YES THAT WOULD BE A MIRACLE/ or Demonstration of God's POWER), then HOW CAN YOU THEN CLAIM THAT YOU DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT GOD SAYS IN GENESIS (And deny his power to do miracles in Genesis-Origins), and then claim that Later Miracles by God happened (Did God change, did His POWER?...). How can you claim that YOU know that Christ miraculously ROSE from the Grave, but not that GOD WAS TELLING THE TRUTH IN GENESIS (..and by Hebrew Language, the cleares/plainest reading of GENESIS says that God Created-The-World In 6 Literal Days..)?
ANSWER me? Will YOU be consistent? DID HE DO IT OR NOT!?
*Excuse me let me fix some mistakes:
I mean to say that: How can Christians who 'believe in the Bible', be consistent, and deny God's power in Genesis to create the world in 6-Literal Days (thereby ~almost~ calling God a liar, becuase that IS what Genesis says in Hebrew-In COntext), and then Later claim that they believe in Christ's Resurection/Moses Snake Miracles/ THe Passover/ The Ten Plagues/ Israel's defeats of her enemies during JUDGES/ Feeding The 5000 (both miracles..) , and on, and on- Is it possible that God is saying: believe in me, because I CREATED ALL MATTER, and therefore I can manipulate it if I want, and have the will, therefore I care about YOU (and want to save YOU TOO?).
Could it be, isn't this reasonable.??
Pounding the table, shouting, (or CAPITALS) is the sign of a weak argumnet.
And that's where this fight belongs, between the various Christian denominations that believe entirely different things from reading the same Bible.
This subject SHOULD NOT be brought into the public square with attempts to force it into science class. That's out of line. It's damaging to conservative politics, and it's damaging to peoples faith as well (just observe how this discussion will devolve into arguments against the existence of God - trust me, some will reject God because this discussion came up - and it's the fundamentalists that are bringing it up)
Soooo, one can be a "real" Christian if and only if they believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible.
Can you point me to chapter and verse in the Bible wherein that is specifically stated? Certainly it must be in there for you to hold the position that you do.
