These articles aren't for the sane, you need to be a little unhinged like me in order to enjoy their borderline poe quality.

And this means that Evolution is not true?

Of course. Charles Darwin just made up the idea of evolution in order to turn people away from God. Haven't you been keeping up?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

I've never understood why certain Christians absolutely cannot reconcile evolution with their fatith while others seem to have no problem doing so. In that last paragraph they even call it an 'anti-God' theory.

I can understand why, especially when you think about the philosophical consequences of evolution by natural selection. Especially the challenge evolution has brought to Biblical Christianity, which believes humans were somehow a special creation of god separate from the rest of creation.

Also some biblical Christians take a very literal view of Genesis where humans are portrayed as being "morally perfect" and either spiritually and/or physically immortal. According to this viewpoint death only enters into humanity and land dwelling vertebrates (along with sea mammals) after the fall.

However the reality is that we are just another species of animal and our evolutionary history influences things like morality and so forth. So I fully agree with Richard Dawkins that the publication of the Origin of the Species made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.
