Then how, in your simplistic worldview, do you explain the millions of scientists who accept evolution and who also believe in God?

Theistic evolution, which is what you are basically proposing, is an oxymoron. If people actually read the Bible from cover to cover and believed it, they would quickly realize it's utterly and completely incompatible with evolution.

Hard core, atheistic evolutionists are consistent; Hard core theists are consistent. Theists who believe in evolution are intellectually inconsistent.

Read my post #53, where I quote an article that goes into more detail on the issue of theistic evolution and it's logical inconsistencies.

This is so moronic. The Bible is so inconsistant in it's views about EVERYTHING that to take it as a blanket pronouncement about anything is like a two year old with his/her "blankey". Wake up!

I went back to your post 53. Just for a point of reference, which Bible do you follow? And I'm confused why you would even read it if you're of the Hebrew or Muslim faith?

No disrespect intended. ;)

Again, What's this about inconsistentcies?

Order of Creation

Genesis 1

Plants-->Animals-->Man & Woman (At the Same time)

Genesis 2

Man -->Plants--> Animals-->Woman

Jeez, I bet you believe we should kill witches and anybody who works on the Sabbath

Here knock yourself out

Theistic evolution, which is what you are basically proposing, is an oxymoron. If people actually read the Bible from cover to cover and believed it, they would quickly realize it's utterly and completely incompatible with evolution.

I didn't ask you whether you felt it was "inconsistent" or not. I asked you how you reconciled your claim that:

Evolution is the folklore of those who don't want to believe in G-d.
...with the fact that there are many, many people who believe in God (and thus presumably are hardly the sort who "don't want to believe" in Him), but who nonetheless accept evolution anyway?

Clearly, something is missing from your description of evolution as merely "folklore of those who don't want to believe in G-d", since many people who *do* believe in God find reason to accept it anyway, *apart* from your "one motive fits all" claim.

Please explain.

Theists who believe in evolution are intellectually inconsistent.

Does not address my question.

Again, this does not address my question.
