I did know that there was talk in the South (well the South plus the now [used to be Democrats] Red States that there were not exactly friendly to evolution in the early 20th century, but I thought that was a thing of the past until I saw atheists whine about creationists constantly.

The closest I know of is Intelligence Design, which is evolution for people who still like to believe God is in control. When you think about it, it does offer an explanation for the evolution of man (but I doubt many of you would ever consider this, since it is taking the easy way out), which many scientists believe was just a fluke.

Depends on the Intelligent Design advocate you talk to. Some ID advocates like Michael Behe accept the idea of common descent, but not the Darwinian mechanism, and believe that it was guided by a creator. Many ID advocates though, like the folks at the discovery institute, are creationists hiding under the guise of "intelligent design"

Myself i lived in a very very Christian town, and basically every one there was a creationist.

Well myself and the Christians I know (most of them at my old Church were either doctors or scientists so that may explain it) or at least they never lead me to believe otherwise, believe in evolution and just add God as the guiding force. I think we started as evolutionists and then just fit our religious beliefs into that mold instead of the other way around.

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
