"They claim to be pro-science but aren't and are really pushing their own liberal agenda vis-a-vis the culture war."

I might go one farther: This is an out and out war on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I guess the earth is 6000 years old too.

Whether you want to admit it or not, many Christians accept evolution and all the rest of science. That you have a doctrinal disagreement with other Christians is nothing new. My grandmother thought all Catholics were destined to hell. There are hundreds of different Christian denominations for a reason you know.

It's only contrary to those few lines between Genesis and Revelation.

This is an out and out war on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Actually before Christians accepted science and math they rode donkeys and lead goats.

While it is true liberals and some evo's attack the gospel, let's be clear. The evo / crevo debate has little to do with the gospel of Jesus Christ of whom I am a strong believer. It regards one's interpretation of Genesis which is from the Torah. While it is true that Jesus affirmed the OT scripture time and time again the gospel is not focused on creation but on sin, grace, faith, etc. Peace.

Thanks for the ping!

I know I'm way late to respond to your post, but I nearly choked on my coffee when I read it.

Have I got this right? The teaching of evolution and a refusal to teach ID is a war on the Gospel of Jesus Christ?! What a load of horsefeathers.

If there was scientific evidence for ID then it would be taught in a science class. Otherwise, you need to go and find some other class to teach in it - like Religious Studies.

Why don't you and the rest of the ID community put more effort into supporting a search for some scientific evidence for your hypothesis before rushing to get something taught in a science class that, currently, has no basis in science?

Anyway, didn't God say "without faith I am nothing"? Yet here are the ID-ers arguing "We don't need faith in the existence of God, as we have biological proof of His existence. Look how complicated life is!" Talk about confused.

Your biggest problem is that you seem determined to treat the ToE as an attack on your faith. IT IS NOT. The ToE is a theory of how life changed over time; it does not explain the origin of life nor the creation of the universe. So why are you acting like it's trying to take over your turf?

There's still plenty of room in the universe for God AND the ToE.
