True. Man has always had a predilection for belief in some form of deity. I can’t prove that any one religion is right, or that any is wrong. I simply know that I believe in a supreme being, who designed all that exists, and Christianity is my personal religious belief, though I am not a fundamentalist, or biblical literalist.

But like evolutionists, I understand that such unquestionable proof will probably never emerge. Unlike evolutionists, however, I will not force my beliefs on others.

"I simply know that I believe in a supreme being, who designed all that exists, and Christianity is my personal religious belief, though I am not a fundamentalist, or biblical literalist."

That's fine, many a scientist is religious. Don't make the assumption of assuming an acceptance of evolution is equivalent to being an atheist. it just requires the acceptance that God works in ways that are not outlined in Genesis.

IOW the problem is exactly that you are being a biblical literalist.
