[...people, who nearly to the man accept evolution.]

The founders of all sciences, nearly to the man, accepted God, until very recently.

You (jim35) keep treating accepting God and accepting evolution as mutually exclusive. They aren't. Darwin's "Origin of the Species" was written on a scientific expedition he was undertaking in pursuit of a position in the Episcopal ministry.

The real problem is that until recently, men (and women) of God were required to also be men of science. Nowadays, you can become a "pastor" just by having a bad haircut and the ability to say "Lord" in three syllables. The veneration of ignorance in parts of America's religious subculture have given rise to the completely farcical idea that good science and good religion are incompatible. In fact, they are not.

“Theistic evolution” is for intellectual cowards. Make up your mind — either believe Scripture is irrelevant or believe it is relevant. Science is certainly compatible with a belief that the Scriptural account of creation is accurate, as many scientists have shown.

As for me, if it’s good enough for Jesus it’s good enough for me. Will He fault me for believing Him rather than Darwin? Doubt it.

And God Says No To Science!!! Gimme your money...Gimme your money.... Gimme your money!!!

These are their prophets.

Not entirely accurate. There have always been lay-preachers, as far back as religion goes. Some have been great, and some total wackos. Much like in every scientific field.

I do agree, however, that science and religion are entirely compatible, at least as far as Christianity goes. I can’t speak for other religions.
