Evangelicals should do no such thing and I say that as one who believes in the theory of evolution.

Not real concerned about how God did it. I just have faith that he did.

[knarf]

I’m so glad I’m un-educated.

[ifinnegan]

Sounds like a defensive buffoon type of preacher who creates his own stumbling blocks and doesn’t focus on what is important.

[Hoodat]

It’s time for evolutionists to explain creation.

[Lx]

Exactly what I would expect from a Progressive Christian.

[ClearCase_guy]

All secular humanists should take the pragmatic, logical step of accepting Jesus as their Savior.

[Psalm 73]

"...76 percent of evangelicals doubt that life on Earth, including human beings, evolved through a process of natural selection.
Educated evangelicals know better."

Sure - unlike us knuckle-dragging Neandrathals that actually believe the Bible is the inerrent Word of God....

[dadfly]

macro evolution is as much a creation story for athiests as Genesis is for Christians. macro evolution is not science; never has been.

all the greatest scientists from Galileo, Keppler, Newton, Pasteur and onward would laugh at the notion of macro evolution being akin to science.

[kaehurowing]

I iz a evenjellycall, therefor I iz stupid.

[DungeonMaster]

Another liar claiming to be a Christian. Hillary said the bible is the most influential book in her life.

[Mr Rogers]

“Why aren’t educated evangelical pastors teaching their churches these things? Are they afraid of being shunned or looked down upon by their peers? Are they afraid to rock the evangelical boat?”

I suspect most are preaching from the Bible instead of discussing science. I no more expect a sermon on evolution than I do a sermon on the health benefits/horrors (depending on what science has concluded that month) of drinking coffee and eating eggs.

[Bryan24]

“Educated evangelicals know better.”

Educated evangelicals don’t believe atheists’ claptrap.

[Kandy Atz]

Genesis 3:1 (AMP)
1 NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden?

All the information you need to understand creation is in the Bible, as well as a definitive answer to evolution. Rightly divide the Word and the answers are there. True science is not in conflict with God, or the creation account.

The moment you head down the road of doubting the veracity of God’s Word, you are on a dangerous path. If you can’t trust God’s Word, how can you trust Him?

[ealgeone]

If he’d read the Word he would understand the truth.

[reasonisfaith]

Evolutions seems to be losing ground. Not a very convincing time to “come out for evolution.”

Let’s start with this historic Christian document and statement, which is now archived at Dallas Theological Semimary.

Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy
http://www.bible-researcher.com/chicago1.html

The “Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy” was produced at an international Summit Conference of evangelical leaders, held at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Chicago in the fall of 1978. This congress was sponsored by the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy. The Chicago Statement was signed by nearly 300 noted evangelical scholars, including James Boice, Norman L. Geisler, John Gerstner, Carl F. H. Henry, Kenneth Kantzer, Harold Lindsell, John Warwick Montgomery, Roger Nicole, J. I. Packer, Robert Preus, Earl Radmacher, Francis Schaeffer, R. C. Sproul, and John Wenham.

The ICBI disbanded in 1988 after producing three major statements: one on biblical inerrancy in 1978, one on biblical hermeneutics in 1982, and one on biblical application in 1986. The following text, containing the “Preface” by the ICBI draft committee, plus the “Short Statement,” “Articles of Affirmation and Denial,” and an accompanying “Exposition,” was published in toto by Carl F. H. Henry in God, Revelation And Authority, vol. 4 (Waco, Tx.: Word Books, 1979), on pp. 211-219. The nineteen Articles of Affirmation and Denial, with a brief introduction, also appear in A General Introduction to the Bible, by Norman L. Geisler and William E. Nix (Chicago: Moody Press, rev. 1986), at pp. 181-185. An official commentary on these articles was written by R. C. Sproul in Explaining Inerrancy: A Commentary (Oakland, Calif.: ICBI, 1980), and Norman Geisler edited the major addresses from the 1978 conference, in Inerrancy (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1980).

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is our creator God, who made all things - seen and unseen. He has revealed himself to us and what he did, through his inerrant and infallible word.

He spoke all things into existence, and from absolutely nothing with the mere speaking of his Word.

These people who want to deny God and deny his Word weren’t there when it was all done. God was, and he has revealed his creative power to us through his Word.

“I am a Baptist minister, but I am not a science-denying Baptist minister who thinks that dinosaurs lived alongside humans a few thousand years ago.”

---

In other words, somebody here isn't keeping up with the news...

Soft tissue is increasingly being found in dinosaur remains That sort of tissue could not plausibly last even one million years.

Good radiocarbon dates are turning up for dinosaur remains. Most of those dates are coming in as 20K - 40K years.

Good images of known dinosaur types are turning up in native American petroglyphs, e.g. the stegosaur glyph at Agawa Rock, Lake Superior:

And before you try to tell me that stegosaurs did not have horns... Indians were in the habit of touching those glyphs up every couple of decades which is why they survive; the horns were added long after the creature itself went extinct by an artist who simply figured a creature that size needed them. Indian oral traditions note that the stegosaur ('Mishipishu' in Ojibway language) had a sawblade back (dorsal spikes as per the image), red fur, a cat-like face, and a "great spiked tail" which he used as a weapon. That description fits the stegosaur and nothing else which has ever walked in North America. Such glyphs apparently were common in 1800, Lewis and Clark said that their native guides were in mortal terror of them.

I also love how he says the Bible is not a history book. If it is not a history book than we can conclude that none of the people depicted in the Bible lived and therefore Christianity is false.

[DManA]

It’s a theory. It’s not something to “come out for” or “come out against”.

[PAR35]

Two of the three ‘pastors’ there are women.

They are Cooperative Baptists (Jimmy Carter Baptists) not Southern Baptists.

They welcome homosexuals.
