What I think is funny about this particular thread is that it’s framed as revealing the “The Dirty Little Secret” that “Religious Faith and Evolution Are Incompatible,” as though Coyne is giving away something all evos know but won’t admit. And yet, when you go to Coyne’s original article, you find that it’s a review of two books by religious evolutionists, one a professor at a Christian school and the other a practicing Catholic (a fact the ICR summary leaves out, of course). One book is even subtitled “How to be a Christian and Believe in Evolution.” So in this little corner of the debate, the “little secret” is that Christian evolutionists outnumber anti-religious evolutionists two to one. But that reality wouldn’t suit ICR’s purposes, so they try to spin it away.

I work at an oil company where we employ thousands of scientists. I have yet to meet one who is a YEC, or does not accept evolution as fact. Yet the vast majority of them are active members of their church or synagogue.

So, the thread title is completely contrary to my experience of 30 years. The headline is a Dirty Little Lie.

But then again, by looking around on this thread, and many others, it appears alot of people think that being nice to kittens and puppies is what constitutes Christianity.
