"Unless one is privy to the thoughts of God, Those are not incompatible" (divine intervention & evolution I am assuming)
I would agree with that statement. I have no problem with the possibility of both of these ideas being true. But usually the Creationists (with a capital C) and hard core Evolutionists battle over this very point. Did humanity evolve from earlier mammals (which in turn evolved reptiles and so forth) or did God create Humanity separately as an act of divine intervention? Most people who believe both rarely get into heated arguments about it. Science cannot and will not ever determine whether a god beyond/wihtin our existence is real or imaginary.
I am not trying to castigate anyone for their beliefs, I am simply attempting to point out where the major divide seems to be.
There will always be a great divide between those who insist on pitting their interpretation of God against well established empirical evidence.
I'm pretty conservative, both politically and personally. I seldom jump on the bandwagon when trendy new ideas come down the pike. But eventually I will join those who see the earth revolving around the sun, rather than the other way round.
There are numerous commandments in the Bible instructing us to love God. I am unaware of any commandment to believe that Genesis is a literal history in the sense that science defines history.
