@ Evie: Yeah sure some Christians believe evolution is false. As explained on these boards, and by atheists too, this thinking is misguided. So their understanding is mistaken in our opinion. You must address their misunderstanding with them and not wrongly claim this to be correct & universally Christian thought when it clearly is not.
I said some Christians disagree with you. Creationists interpret the Bible and think they are Christians, they read the Bible literally. Are you to say that just because you and your comrades think they interpret it incorrectly, then that means they aren't Christians? Is it part of the definition of Christianity to believe in Evolution, and to not interpret the Bible literally? Wouldn't that mean then you have to interpret the Bible just your way, otherwise it's not Christian? Because that's exactly the NTS fallacy if that's the case.
For them to not be Christians simply because they reject evolution and take the OT creation story literally, wouldn't that mean Christ would have had to state how Creationism is wrong and how Evolution is true? On what basis can you dismiss all Creationists as non-Christians?
I said some Christians disagree with you, and they are Creationists. Where does part of the definition of Christianity=Believing in evolution.
*Smells some really serious NTS*.
