[[As opposed to compromising God’s world, so that it fits your interpretation of His word.]]

As mentioned before 2.6 billion TRUE Christians interprete God’s word just fine with only minor irrelevent differences- Again, it seems only hte minority of people calling htemselves ‘Christians’ who want the word to fit hteir liberal ideology have a problem with ‘interpretations’, and seem to want to justify their liberal interpretations by claiming God’s word is ‘open to interpretation’ in any manner one wishes

Let's see ... to support my point that religion need not oppose science, I linked to a website with an actual document actually signed by more than eleven thousand actual ministers. In another thread, to support the same point I linked to a written copy of a speech actually delivered by Pope John Paul II. I can link to it again in this thread if need be.

The response here is to dismiss everything out of hand, primarily, I suspect, because there is no other option. Popes are Catholic; they doesn't count because some posters are not Catholic. I explicitly stated that wasn't the point, but that didn't matter. (The point was that people who are serious about religion -- a Pope, for instance -- can accept the Theory of Evolution as science). The thousands of ministers in question don't count because they aren't real Christians.

Has anyone here ever heard of the "no true Scotsman" fallacy?

The response has been telling. Utterly without foundation, a number is cited. Is there a link to a source for this number? Why ... no. The number is entirely imaginary! It's cited as part of a claim that every Christian on the planet stands in opposition to the Theory of Evolution. There is no evidence for this, in fact, it is manifest nonsense.

This is why I addressed my post to the lurkers. I am unconcerned with those who post manifest nonsense.

So did God move, hover, or brood over the surface of the waters in Genesis 1:2?

BTW, good trick there being 2.6 billion TRUE Christians when there are less than 2 billion in the world... and according to you some of them only "call" themselves Christians.
