Just one man's opinion -- not worth very much.

I'm not going to assign motives, but I will say that the article is not very competent and only creates divisiveness.

For example, I can prove that Christianity is a racist religion by writing an article quoting a racist Christian racist. I can prove that Jews kill little German children and user their blood to make matzos by writing an article quoting Hitler. I can prove that God doesn't exist by writing an article that quotes an atheist.

The article is a good example of the logical fallacy of Appeal to Authority. Note the criteria and how the article violates numbers 3 and 4.

I've known many sincere, Bible-believing devout Christians who were also scientists and had no problems with evolution to one degree or another. I am one of them. Why does the article ignore Christians who do believe in evolution to some extent?

I'm sorry, my brother, but this just was not a very good article.

I find it useful in the sense that it identifies yet another misotheist Evo who believes evolution is not compatible with a personal God. This materialistic religious movement is growing rapidly, and views Christianity as a rival that must be eliminated. You are right to point out that there are professing Christians who do not see a contradiction between Christianity and evolution. However, this Christian (and millions more just like me) is not one of them. I believe Christian accommodation of evolution elevates the fallible assumptions of natural man above the infallible Word of God. That’s not to say Christian evolutionists are not Christian, but I do believe said accomodation weakens the gospel message by amalgamating God’s eyewitness creation account with the tentative assumptions of naturalistic science.
