Not at all—it is, in fact, my observation. I am a devout Christian who believes that the Bible is, in part, allegorical. Many (not all) of those who believe that it is literally true in full succumb to the need to cling to a silly set of constructions and coincidences called ID. That is a demonstration of lack of faith on their part. The fact that they demand “equal time” when real scientists call them on their folly just further distances them from their own faith.


So how is it that you decide which is allegorical and which is not?

I consult my Magic 8-Ball.

Evolutionists are always trying to have their cake and eat too. They can't disprove God by science, so if they really wanted logic to guide them, they could at least step into the realm of philosophy where such discussions are appropriate.

It usually amounts to what parts that support or disagree with their belief system. It's far more comfortable to adjust Scripture to fit your beliefs than to adjust your beliefs to fit Scripture.
