“I'm an evo-skeptic but the quick answer is that evolution and God are not incompatible.” [excerpt]
The quick answer is not always the right answer.

A shallow glance at a subject will rarely give an accurate answer.

So while the quick answer may be that they are not incompatible, the long answer is that they are contradictory.

As one's faith in God, and Scripture, increases one may come to see the remarkable wisdom of the Old Testament and begin to understand that the motives of the most outspoken Darwinists have nothing to do with science or the pursuit of truth.

If, however, one insists on fidelity to a literal interpretation of Genesis by others then one will be putting a pretty big stumbling block in front of their acceptance of the New Testament, and that we must not do.

Regardless, there are those who hold a sincere belief in the Resurrection and divinity of Jesus, and fully accept his teachings, yet also believe in evolution and common descent. i consider them Christians.
