Meh, a bit of luck there, a bit of political correctness here, and a piece of professionalism all the way yonder.

Just like Obama's victory

Can someone tell me how someone can be a Christian believer in the Holy Bible and still believe in Evolution?

As much as I hate to agree with that statement, I have to admit you are quite correct and I view Christians who accept evolution as "compromisers", and not in a good sense either. Regretfully, Christianity needs plenty of tweaking to be suitable for evolution. Creationism merely follows the Bible (and then for some mysterious reason perverts it with the uncalled-for and the wildest imaginable hypotheses about dinosaurs :( ).

Which leads me to another point, which is best not uttered here... Having to do with Christians and their ign

Why not? As long as someone doesn't take a literal interpretation of the Bible, there is really no reason why evolution and Christianity can't co-exist. Maybe evolution is part of God's plan, or even God tweaking his work as time passes. Why can't various scientific theories/laws just explain mechanisms God set in place?

Well, that is making it more complex... Not literal? How much of the Bible is "not literal"? Where do we stop?

Didn't you know?

The bible is like a smorgosbord where you can pick and choose the parts you like

Of course, even the creationists do it all the time... What happened to the Old Testament Laws - when creationists love to maintain that all parts of the Bible matter, including the Old Testament? Or the New Testament idea that you have to give up your earthly wealth to be saved? Pick n' choose

This has long left the original topic behind, and whilst there are some well-argued posts developing, there are also some rather distasteful trolls peeking from beneath their bridges.

If a new thread on evolution/religion/the founding fathers emerges, I suggest participants treat their opponents with respect, as per the Backroom Rules.
