"You seem to believe that Christians are defined as Christian by not believing Evolution."

>
Now you are moving to a different subject, and I think you are intentionally doing such for the sake of jumping around and making this more confusing. Believing in Evolution, does NOT make you or unmake you a Christian -- as belief in Christ as one's Lord and Saviour DOES. However, Evolution makes no stance to protect Christians, in the sense that ID, or Creationism does. The Bible states that God created all-things. Evolution states nature did such. Common sense would assume an issue here.

In response to your other misguided quotes, you are taking the broad term Christianity out of the context of the situation of MY response.

> Saying you are Christian does NOT make you Christian.

> There are various TYPES of Christian denominations. Often-times you have to be specific. There are Liberal communities (as evolutionist claim, and use, to support their cause), there are Conservative communities (who are heavily anti-evolution). These communities differ in beliefs according to their interpretation of the Bible. Supposed conservative evolutionists here fail to recognize this.

'Evolution has not implemented a protective layer for religion.'

"Why should it?"

Because of the reasons aforementioned, and because it is easier to justify many of the Left's arguments through such means.

No I'm not. It has a direct bearing. You are trying to justify your belief that evolution is inherently anti-christian in nature and to do that you reject the possibility of Christians accepting both Christ and Evolution.

"Believing in Evolution, does NOT make you or unmake you a Christian -- as belief in Christ as one's Lord and Saviour DOES. However, Evolution makes no stance to protect Christians, in the sense that ID, or Creationism does. The Bible states that God created all-things. Evolution states nature did such. Common sense would assume an issue here.

The SToE has absolutely nothing to say about the origin of the universe or life on Earth. I gave you a link to the modern synthesis, where in that list of tenets is there a reference to life origins?

You seem conflicted. On one hand, at least in this post, you agree that belief in Evolution does not alter the state of belief for a Christian, yet, on the other hand, you claim that common sense dictates a contradiction in accepting both Evolution and Christianity.

"Saying you are Christian does NOT make you Christian. "

OK. What does make you a Christian?
