You certainly don't have to believe the Bible, but trying to make those who do look like backwater yokels doesn't help make your case. I'm convinced evolutionists are generally just mean-spirited people.

You don't need me to make some people look like backwoods yokels. It is often self evident.

One can believe in the Spiritual aspects of the bible without believing all the parables and homilies as rote.

I don't believe all evolutionists are mean spirited. I have seen it in ID and Creationist posts though.

True for many. But there many, many hateful and dishonest Creationists, as well.

The level of discourse is sadly very low on both sides.
