For umpteenth time, evolution is not the sole domain of atheists. There are countless Christians, some who post on these boards, and numerous other religions who accept the evidence for evolution.

The Holy Bible says God created the heavens and the earth.
If a person said he was a atheist and also believed that God
ceated the heavens and the earth, wouldn't you suspect that
he might NOT be a true atheist?

And why would you think it's ok for ones who say they believe the bible but then believe in something that contradicts it? How can that possible make sense to you?

If an atheist declared that God 'made the heavens and earth', that would surely disqualify them from being an atheist?!
Originally posted by Proper KnobOh so the old "educated" card being played...Lol. So if it's only educated people who believe in evolution then why would they still believe somewhat in the Bible too? Are they only half educated?

I remember a whole nation of very well educated people that were pretty much as a whole atheist and that prospered very well for a time period a few decades ago. Let's see..who were they? Oh yeah, Germany and their leader Hitler! Really educated weren't they.
Originally posted by galveston75For goodness sake read my post thoroughly. I didn't mention evolution you did, secondly i said 'most' educate people, not all. I also said the 'stories' in the Bible and even told you to take note of that word. By stories i mean the 'whole kit and caboodle' not one isolated part.

Originally posted by RJHindsBut as an atheist, I generally accept anyone who says they follow Christs teaching has the right to call themselves Christian. This includes everything from the few people like you that believe every word in the Bible, the vast majority of those claiming to be Christian who believe that much of the Bible is allegory, stories, or outright wrong, and a not insignificant number of atheists.

But the point here is it ok to be a part time Christian when it comes to letting other ideals, theories , beliefs and concepts such as evolution which does contradict with the Bible, into their everyday lifes is an ok thing to do?
Yes we have to learn and have a good knowledge of the world around us even when it comes to subjects that are against the Bible. We have to know these reasonably well to know what the dangers are if and when they exist.
But once a Christian knows these dangers and should remember all the scriptures that explain clearly that Satan is the ruler of this world and would be behind anything that is in opposition to him and his word the Bible, that Christian would safly distance himself from that influance.
And to even slightly favor a theory such as evolution and decide that certian parts of the Bible are just stories and not real would disqualify one as a Christian.
Being "luke warm" in ones devotion is something detestable to God.
