I'm perfectly willing to take Genesis as an allegory but I've pretty much rejected evolution. A zealous lack of skepticism by its defenders is probably my main cause of suspicion.
The theory's supporters have definitively claimed many things to be absolute truth which were later found to be false. They just nod their heads and continue on unphased.
My view is that God made the universe. How He did it and how He caused life to come about, I don't know.
On flaming, if I'm flamed for an error I made, then I will learn something I didn't previously know. And if I'm flamed wrongfully, it's a blessing and I can rejoice. Flaming is a win-win for me!
