So you admit you misspoke when you said the theory of evolution was atheistic?

I said they contain no morals, not that they were not atheistic. The ToE allows no room for God by the demand for the assumptions by the evos that it be mechanistic and materialistic.

Don't presume to try to tell me that I cannot be a Christian and accept the theory of evolution.

I never said that Christians can't accept the ToE. They can be wrong about that just like Christians can be wrong about other things.

Piety and devotion to our Lord Jesus the Christ is not based on a sliding scale with how wacky your cosmology is and how much you hate science and ascribe atheist belief to the mainstream position of Christian thought.

Nor is one's piety and devotion to Christ based on some wacky scale of how closely one's views conform to *mainstream Christian thought*, especially when mainstream Christian thought these days denies things like the Bible being the inspired work of God, the virgin birth, the Bible even being factual, but rather just allegory, supports abortion and homosexual marriage.

Mainstream Christian thought is pretty liberal and is not representative of the Biblical position on most issues.

A Christian's views should be in conformity to those of Jesus, not popular church opinion.

Piety and devotion to Christ certainly doesn't leave much room for the vitriol and hatred towards other Christians who disagree with them that some on both sides of the debate have shown. It also does not leave much room to excuse misrepresenting others and lying about them by calling them science haters and calling them retards (or cretards). I can just see Jesus calling someone who disagrees with him a *retard* using a description of some unfortunate people in our world as a pejorative, with the scorn and contempt that evos use towards creationists, especially when they mock them for actually holding to the integrity of Scripture.

The question remains. Not. "And as for the term *cretarded*, are you really the 10 year old that you talk like? "

EVERY scientific theory must be mechanistic and material; that does not in any way necessitate that science be “atheistic”, that is ridiculous, but shows where your animosity to the scientific method originates.

And do your cohorts who call the theory “evoloserism” also earn your approbation that they are acting like a 10 year old? No. You set yourself up as a scolding arbitrator of manners only when it is your own ox being gored.

As I said, Creationism retards ones intellectual and theological views, thus it is “cretarded”.
