Being in a "Christian order" doesn't make one a Christian any more than walking into a garage makes one a mechanic.

BoT, I agree with you 100%. Do you agree that there are true Christians who also accept the theory of evolution?

...or do their heads explode first? ;)

...but seriously, I'm very curious as to why you believe (important point, it's your opinion) the two are mutually exclusive. I say anyone with a grasp on the concept of metaphor can deal, no problem - It's just a matter of not taking the Bible (or your religious text of choice) so literally. Of course, you can prove me wrong on this - I wait, with bated breath...

Yes. There are also Christians who vote for clintoon and support abortion and homosexual rights and any number of wrong causes. It is not up to me to judge their salvation, but I can judge their beliefs and actions because the Bible guides me.

Why is evolution incompatible with Christianity? Because it says that the Bible is not true. When you start denying the truth in the Bible, like in claiming that the meaning of "day" might be 400 million years, (no, a day means a day), then you invite the denial of other parts as well.

The spread of the idea of evolution is absolutely crucial in the destruction of Christianity as it attacks the very basis ofJudism and Christianity; that God created.

Besides, I have seen much more evidence of a worldwide flood than evolution. I have seen too much circular logic in evolution. I have seen outright deception and lies. I have seen the evolutionists simply ignore any evidence that didn't fit in the right place. I have seen evolutionists denounce and sneer at anyone who places their faith in God rather than men. I have seen mathematical evidence for the argument of a young earth.

I simply choose to believe God.
