I think I saw that cartoon once - It's about a guy who can't keep his saxophone to himself, right? ;)
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.
LOL! Funny, I always thought judgement was reserved for a higher power, and that, in addition, there was also room for tolerance and love in Christianity - Though your login name certainly has an old-testament ring to it... OK, if you want to decide morality and apply it to the rest of, based on your own personal reading of the Bible (which is going to exclude not only a lot of non-Christians, religious and otherwise, but a lot of Christians as well), be my guest. I won't argue with you, because I'm sure you won't change your mind - But I hope you can see that we cannot enforce your beliefs on everyone - It simply is not right - And that there is, indeed, room for interpretation of the Bible.
Why is evolution incompatible with Christianity? Because it says that the Bible is not true.
No it doesn't. The statement that "the Bible is not true" is absolutely irrelevant to the theory of evolution.
When you start denying the truth in the Bible,
...then your head explodes. God it. {BOOOM}
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.
How can we know what God's sense of time is like? How can we know that our way of reading the Bible is the One True Way (tm) and everyone else is wrong?
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.
No it isn't. God is perfectly capable of creating any system of natural laws he so chooses, including one that relies on evolution for the creation of man over a long period of time. The theory of evolution has been widely disseminated in the Western world, and there are still plenty of Christians.
Besides, I have seen much more evidence of a worldwide flood than evolution.
Have you been looking for evidence of evolution? Would the existance of any number of worldwide floods somehow contradict the theory of 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'm neither denouncing nor sneering at you - Religion is not something to sneer at. What you say above may very well be true. It is also true that it has nothing to do with offering a counterargument against evolution and everything to do with making people who you term "evolutionists" look bad. Do not judge the whole of science based on the actions of a few unpleasant people - You would not want someone doing the same thing to Christians. Scientists are not, as a whole, out to get you, nor are they out to destroy religion; they are scientists, and most of them are simply out to apply the scientific method.
I have seen mathematical evidence for the argument of a young earth.
Noting that there is a big difference between evidence and evidence that has validity, according to the scientific method - And that is the realm you enter, when talking about a "young earth" theory - I would very much like to hear this evidence, as well as the theory it supports, explicitly stated and subject to critical examination. If it is immediately obvious that it means that the theory of evolution cannot be correct, we can all go home!
I simply choose to believe God.
By all means! I'm glad you do - You're not the only one. This has nothing to do with accepting the theory of evolution, however.

That just shows your ignorance in the Bible and Christianity. Read these words carefully; I do not judge your SALVATION because THAT is God's realm alone, I judge your guilt for ACTIONS because God has already told me which actions are right and which are wrong. We also have courts where JUDGES decide on a person's guilt based on their ACTIONS. There is a whole book in the bible named JUDGES where they, guess what, pass judgement on people!
As for love and tolerance, I have no love or tolerance for sin, but sinners are welcomed into the church (we are ALL sinners, that is in the bible, too), as long as their desire to explore Christianity is genuine and not simply to be a disruptive or subversive influence. Neither an alcoholic, nor a child molester, nor a homosexual, nor a thief would be allowed into the leadership of a church.
BTW, it is liberals who are always preaching "tolerance" of perverted lifestyles as if homosexuals had equal moral ground to stand on.
The ENTIRE bible is the literal truth. To pretend that you can believe some parts and not others allows you to pick and choose the parts you like and simply disregard those you don't. If you claim to be Christian but believe in evoltion, then you reject the teachings of Jesus Christ who talked and taught on the creation; Mark 10-6 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female." (not amoeba and bacteria) and the flood of Noah, Matthew 24:38 "For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;" ( I guess Jesus believed in the flood of Noah, huh?)
