It is not against Christianity. Creationism does not = Christianity. Anything that does not, in your opinion, reek of "God did it" (and evolution in my opinion, does) is automatically the Anti-Christ.

Pretty much, yes. However, Evolution and Christianity are NOT compatible, because of Adam. Either sin entered the world through Adam, the MAN CREATED on day 6, like the Bible says, or it didn't. There can be no compromise on this. Either sin entered the world through a created being, Adam or it didn't. Either Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world, that entered the world through Adam, or He didn't.

It is really quite simple. Either the Bible is correct, or it isn't. That means evolution has to be wrong, and is incompatible with Christianity. Too many things of the Bible have to be abandoned to believe in ANY form of evolution.

You sure? Ah, well, that's too bad. Christianity was a real nice religion while it lasted. Love your neighbor, real pretty cathedrals, undergirding the maturation of Western Civilization. It's a shame all that moral, spiritual and practical accomplishment rested on one particularistic reading of the Bible's secular history. But Race insists on it, and now nearly everyone not apriori committed, like Race, to biblical inerrancy knows that this history is wrong, so might as well move on.

What religion do you suggest former Christians adopt, Race? It would be nice if it were one that can't be overturned completely by some piddling scientific theory.

So you still agree that men should not touch women who are on their menstrual cycles and that women should not speak during church/preach?

And that is why creationism is religion, not in any way related to science.

For clarification:

Spontaneous implies no casuation; The two examples that may be useful, e.g., bacterium and immune cells may well be responding to extraneous stimuli, either radiation or foreign material. Their mutigenesis in these circumstances may not be "spontaneous."

Random may not be applicable either. Responding to an environmental stressor may well be a non-random event.

That said, this does not reduce the signifcance of mutagenesis that has the appearance to be both random and spontaneous.
