No where did I imply it was irrational to have religious belief.
Judging from your other posts, I think it is unlikely that we will have a productive conversation.
For a productive discussion on how modern man has abandoned rationality where it comes to the "upper story" (religious faith) you might want to consult the late Dr. Francis Schaeffer's writings.
You wrote: "Religious people should accept evolution for the simple reason that it is true." If you are referring to macroevolution, please produce proof of your assertions, not just disjointed fragments of mammalian skeletal remains from different parts of the globe cobbled together with educated guesses by some people more and some people less sincere.
The "tree" by coyoteman even acknowledges it is a "best guess", and has some very partial and sketchy fragments of skulls included.
What many don't realize is that sometimes these HUGE finds of "millions" of years old humans are usually only a partial skeleton, perhaps a few teeth, and some other bone fragments. The rest is speculation.
If you want to reconcile macroevolution and the Biblical record of the origin of man and be rational (logically consistent) you have a lot of explaining to do.
