"The problem with Creationists is that they insist on a hyperliteralist view of Genesis as an acid test of faith. I have very little problems holding to a high view of Scripture and a 15 billion year old theistic evolutionary view of the universe."

The problem with YOU is that you believe God created everything (al beit by starting everything with the first single-celled creature, then guiding all through evolution), but you talk about creationists as though they were nutcases to be dismissed.

Hate to tell you this, but YOU are a creationist. You just think God did it differently than others might.

A few years ago you might have had a point. But recently the Creationists - as a trend - have acquired a take no prisoners attitude. They tote a party line of six literal 24 hour days now and flail any deviance from the offical line. Answers in Genesis wrote a disparaging summation of Dr. Schroeder, a man most would find to be pious. Ah, but he is not a fundamentalist Christian.

It has gotten ugly - amazingly so - on the Christian side.

I would therefore be numbered among evolutionists by them.
