It is not possible to wholly believe the Bible, literally, and also believe in evolution.

I tend to agree.

I do know for a fact that contrary to the previous poster's claim, MOST Christians do not believe in evolution.

Anyone can check out the countless mainstream Christian websites and find they almost all maintian a pro-creation, anti-evolution veiwpoint.

An extremely small minority attempt to reconcile evolution with Biblical creation.

Let me get this straight -- you know for a "fact" that most Christians don't believe in evolution, because that's what most of the Christian *websites* put forth as their own position?

This is, shall we say, less than a representative sample.

An extremely small minority attempt to reconcile evolution with Biblical creation.

Actual polls disagree with you. 39% of the general public responded that they believed in "Theistic evolution". This is a heck of a lot of people "attempting to reconcile evolution with Biblical creation" -- it's hardly an "extremely small minority". Compare that to 44% who said they subscribed to creationism. Looks a lot closer to about 50-50 than "an extremely small minority".

Vocalness does not equate to truthfullness. Maybe those Christians who accept evolution don't feel the need to trumpet their beliefs to the world. After all, they have nothing to prove ...
