“neither the Catholic Church, nor most Protestant churches, nor even Eastern Orthodox churches (meaning well over 90% of all Christians) teach that science in general, or evolution in particular, is “incompatible with the Bible”.

Spirited: And if they teach that the man in the moon is compatible with the Bible will you swallow that whole as well?

It’s true that certain Catholics, Protestants and Eastern Orthodox embrace Darwinism. Many embrace the Hindu-pantheism of the Hermetic alchemist Teilhard de Chardin and tout the self-avowed spiritist Alfred Russel Wallace as the co-discoverer of Darwin’s theory. Of course Darwin received the idea from his pantheist grandfather Erasmus, a high-ranking Free Mason involved in the overthrow of the Church.

All of this is heresy reframed as science and evolution, and when syncretized with the Bible results in paganized Christianity. It will not get you to heaven.

The term is "theistic evolutionism", meaning: evolution guided by God.
All Christian churches which do not specifically condemn evolution theory teach "theistic evolutionism".
That means well over 90%, perhaps 99% of the world's two+ billion Christians.

As for "Hindu-pantheism" and all the rest -- there you go again with your vacuum cleaner.
In fact, the number of Christian churches which have anything at all to say about such things is doubtless limited to geographical areas with large populations of Hindus.
It would be a way for Christians to relate to people raised in a Hindu tradition, imho.

So, overall, we're talking about a very small percentage of all Christians who might be influenced by such teachings.
We certainly hear nothing like that in my little church's services.

Indeed, it's irrelevant which is why all your, ahem, spirited condemnations of science in general and evolution specifically, it's all inappropriate -- has nothing to do with what's important spiritually, in this life & beyond.
