I believe that it comes down to what you define as Evolution. Most here seem to classify EVERYTHING as (Godless) Evolution. There is sadly no tuck taken with the far more resonable view that God has intentionally created man in his (thinking) image over a long span of time. Still, the same sad polorization is out there in the schools. I just don't think it is fair to assume that if you view Creation as a parable for man's corrupt and wandering nature, you are classified as "Godless heathen".

At the risk of starting another flame war, what about the example cited in "Inherit the Wind:? The Bible says the Sun stopped in it's path across the sky. Do we suppose that it actually stopped? This would have been easier if the sun were a "bright light set in the glass domes of heaven" as some of the time might believe. However, recently we discovered that the Earth in fact rotates around the Sun. To stop it in its path, you would have to arrest the spin of the earth, resulting in continental plates and everything on them suddenly decelerating from high speed to nil. You would think a catastrophy like that would have been noticed.

Which is along the lines of my personal beliefs ... I have a REAL problem with doctrines that have to resort to threats of some fiery hell for non-believers ... I give them the same credibility and respect that I afford the Taliban ... an omnipotent being would NOT need to use fear and intimidation to gain followers
