Since you do not believe Scripture, you are not a fundamentalist Christian.

I may not meet your definition of what constitutes a "Fundamentalist" Christian, but that doesn't bother me in the least. I do believe in the scriptures. But I believe that scriptures have to be understood intelligently and a literal interpretation of them, especially an eschatological pasage from a very early portion of the Bible has to viewed from a different perspective than a first hand witness' account of event in the New Testament.

Only a fool will ignore current biological facts, refuse to accept overwhelming biological evidence, and insist that HIS or HER interpretation of Biblical scripture is correct, and scientific facts are wrong.

Neither scientific fact nor scripture are irreconciable if you open your mind and look at both from the proper perspective. If you do not, you are painting yourself into an intellectual corner and discrediting a true faith. If you reject the intellect - you have good company - The Inquisition, the Medieval Papacy, etc.
