The main purpose of the inquisition was to rid Spain of Islam, which I would guess was about as much fun to deal with then as it is now.

So then, Christianity teaches that it's okay to kill and torture people as long as they're not Christians? BTW, study your history, the Inquisition occurred in the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon AFTER the Muslims were driven out. The target of the Inquisition was primarily the Jews, who Ferdinand and Isabella thought were a threat to the "religious purity" of the new kingdoms. Church leaders gave full support to the effort. Still doesn't answer my question, though. How are the main tenents of evolution and Christianity contradictory?
