I believe in God, and don't see evolution as incompatible with that belief.
Has anyone addressed this aspect of the discussion, yet? I just got here and I find it somewhat difficult to peruse 1500 posts during my brief lunch break!
Biological macro-evolution is most certainly incompatible with Christianity. Any flavor of particles-to-people evolution involves innumerable instances of death before the sin of Adam. However, Scripture tells us that death is the result of sin. The theistic evolutionist has accepted a premise that is incorrect - that death is natural! Death is not natural. It is an unnatural enemy that has blanketed this world. It is such a powerful enemy that only God Himself, in the person of Jesus Christ, could defeat it. That is the reason for the bloody cross of Christ and His glorious resurrection - to defeat sin and the death that flowed from sin.
