“My church teaches creation, but it doesn’t deny evolution.”, YOU need to find a new church. If a “church” cannot get Genesis right then EVERYTHING else they “teach” is suspect.

Or, I don't know, Genesis could be an allegory. You know, about the dangers of listening to a shady character (snake) and not listening to God. The talking snake kind of gives it away as a fable. And there was plenty of allegory in the Bible, I mean, that was the main way Jesus taught was in parable. And since you probably think Jesus is God then it makes sense for God to sprinkle the OT with parables when he supposedly dictated it to Moses. And this is all ignoring the much stronger possibility that the Bible is full of shit.
When the post is long, it shows at least some intelligence (that is, if the author is literate). When the post is short and this apocalyptically stupid, then it's outright hilarious.
Worry less about the minutiae, and more about the philosophies taught in your respective churches, yes? Why is it so important that immediate creation be taught in lieu of theistic evolution? (To the rest of you, keep biblical accuracy out of this for the non. I'm more worried about their internal logic mechanisms. Even perfect truth gets warped by bad logic.) Is it just that immediate creation is somehow more glorious/awe-inspiring than theistic evolution? But why should glory be so important? What monstrous things would happen if God were to one day explicitly abjure glory-seeking?

Thank you for calling me, a Wiccan & the majority of sane theistic people, who also think fundies are crazy, "Morons". (sarcasm)
The only part of the Bible worth any sort of respect are the 4 Gospels, everything else is only good for kindling, BBQ lighting, toilet paper & cat box filler!
THAT SAID, IT'S MYTHOLOGY, FABLES & PARABLES YOU MARSHMALLOW HEAD!
Well so does the church that I used to belong to. They also have gay priests and women priests.
Guess they are not the right kinda church either, eh?
Man this is silly.
I totally agree! You have to take every word in the Bible 100% literally or it all falls apart!
So stop believing in insects with 6 legs. Leviticus chapter 11 says that insects have 4 legs. If you see an "insect" with 6 legs it's really Satan in disguise!
Arrogant, aren't we! 'My beliefs are right; yours are wrong.' Just the attitude of the Inquisition.
There is no proof for what any church teaches anyway.
Genesis. You mean the book that says that the light of day was created before the source of that light?
Interestingly (and coincidentally) does anyone else listen to George Hrab's weekly Geologic Podcast? Last week's episode was a riot because he read from four books of "Not the Bible"
Even with the largest military budget in the world, the U.S. really should have some kind of standard for the kind of people it allows into its military institution.
They are going to be issued weapons and have access to multi-million dollar equipment, you know.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
