"There is a conflict between biblical literalists and evolution. Not much doubt about that."?

I completely disagree with that! Not the doubt part. That is you and many may have no doubts, and I agree or rather appreciate (with) that.

The notion that there is conflict b/n Biblical literalists and evolution probably has more to do with how one defines a "literalist."

I have met few people in this lifetime who actually have read that text, and even fewer who have read the text in the original language.

I have met none with complete understanding. I have met many who claim to have such a command.

The number 3 (Three) is nonsense in the article.

Keep being nice.

I think point three is weak at best.

But the biblical literalists, as they define themselves, will tell you that the Bible and evolution are wholly incompatible.

I'm not one who thinks the Bible contradicts evolution. But what I interpret as allegory representing an underlying fundamental truth is interpreted by them as something else entirely.

But it's undeniable that there are those in each camp who see a huge and irreconciliable difference between Special Creation and evolution.
