Yeah... I don't get it either. Especially considering that there isn't a conflict at all with evolution and Genesis as long as you are aware of the actual meaning of Genesis. (the day versus period of time situation) Sadly, a lot of uneducated folks have never been told by their minister that the King James Bible was translated poorly from the Greek texts. I just don't understand why those who claim to be devout havn't bother to read up on the history of the Bible and discover this item on their own.

There was a thread a while back on the release of all the Dead Sea Scrolls. There was mention of basically an evolution of the books of the Old Testament over time as peoples understanding grew about the environment around them. So literally the Bible has evolved too. This in no way detracts from a faith in God. It just goes to show the Bible is not a science text.

Make that "translated politically" and I will agree with you!
