What I am trying to communicate is that many different people, and many Christian churches, have different interpretations of the Bible.
We've long since quit chasing Quakers out of town, because all different views of God are tolerated. Except, it seems, those who understand the workings of evolution and see no reason to replace science with one particular narrow interpretation of Genesis.

My friend, I am fully educated in biological science and I am fully aware of evolutionary theory and its postulated mechanisms, etc. I just don't agree with it. Partly because I don't think it can explain macro evolution, but mainly and admitedly because I see it conflicts with scripture.
Oh, and BTW, just because you don't hold as high a view of scripture as I do, does not mean I want to "run you out of town." I can only express what I believe. It is in God's hands whether you accept it or not. I'm not motivated to "force" anyone to believe anything...that is a fruitless endeavor and not my responsibility as a human being.
