Atheists; what do you base your morals on?

A lot of things that people thought was certain 1000 years ago aren't certain.

I don't think that the Bible teaches that evolution is necessary incompatible, I read a study that said 48% of seminary presidents accepted evolutionary theory. I don't really know. It is definately a controversial issue in the Christian church. There are problems with theistic belief, honestly, I really couldn't say whether the problems are serious or not. It really is tough to understand exactly what Genesis intends to me, if it is allegorical, etc. Augustine had non-literal approaches to Genesis, so it is not as if theology was invented very recently to accommodate evolutionary theory (though some theologians have chosen to turn their craft into something like a used car dealership). There does seem to be some very good evidence for evolutionary theory (such the finches in the gallapogos islands and the genetic evidence and the fossil record, etc).

I think it probably is true, but I could be wrong.
