No, it appears most of them either weren't very committed to their theory, got tired of the spam, or were taken down by the Government for trying to fight the lies.

I just want to make sure that this poll doesn't mean that a round earth evolutionist implies "Godless."  But good idea for this poll if people actually do it.

Hmm, I would have still put RE Evolutionist.  You just believe god is behind it all and evolution is the way he did it right?  Diffrent way of just saying he works in mysterious ways.  Your in good company with Einstien and Newton.  :) Still, I can see where one would have confusion on which catagory your in.

No, not really.  Many scientists through out history have believed in God.  Newton, Galileo, Einstien are some examples.  Part of the problem with todays society it seems is we've adopted a black or white mentailty to this.  One can believe in God and believe in Evolution.  All you'd have to do is believe that God made the world according to certain rules and by studying them we understand God better.  If you believe it makes a heck of alot more sense than the moronic 'God made things as they are and they have never been diffrent' you get from the Creationist/Intelligent Design group.

I disagree like the above posters.  You're pretty much trying to define God by saying that evolution goes against everything he stands for.  Rethink your argument and I'm confident that you won't make any wild statements like that again (at least not mean them).

I did, and I stand by my statement. If you think otherwise you (and all those people who think the same way) either don't know evolution very well, or you don't know bible very well. That is if you take your god from the bible, if not than I guess your god can be anything you imagine him to be.

I would like for people to notice that there is only one more FE believer then there is candy on a stick people.
he Earth is flat, because if it wasnt then how do you explain the 1,000,000,000+ mile in circumference 125 foot tall ice barrier at the edge of the earth [which is round, but flat like a 2D circle]? and if 1+1=2 then the earth is flat.

So, you just pick the parts you like from the bible and believe in them and the ones you don't like discount?

It's not quite as blunt as that, it usually involves taking things as 'metaphorical'.

Right cheesejoff.  googlesearch my original statement was made because of all the various interpretaions of God (not limited to the Bible).  However, I take it further than that and believe that many parts of the Bible are to be taken metaphorically.  Furthermore, I like to keep in mind that humans wrote the Bible.  If God had written the Bible perhaps I'd believe everything in it.  But he didn't.  If you argue that he did write it by some sort of divine intervention then I won't argue.  I'll say this though:  when I write a new addition (or edition if you look at it that way) to the Bible, you can't claim that it was written by me.  It must be accepted that God wrote it through me.

Taking parts as metaphorical is fair enough. It just becomes a bit of a pic'n'mix when different people choose different parts to be metaphorical.

Although, I didn't know you were allowed to add to the bible. Doesn't it say in Revelation 22:18 that you cannot add to the bible?

That is brilliant, espesially the "not limited to the Bible" part. So, how do you choose which parts are to be taken metaphorically and which are not? Which parts of the bible do you believe in?

Certainly the obvious metaphors: visions, dreams, prophecies, poetry, songs, allegorical stories, and parables, have to be taken as such.

As for the rest, it's a discerning process:  If a particular "historical" scripture contradicts with most other credible historical evidence, then look at that verse from the writer's perspective, and see what a biased history teaches us about our faith.  If a particular "scientific" scripture contradicts with most other credible scientific evidence, then look at that verse through the eye of the writer to see what was observed to make the writer come to this conclusion while attempting to put God's Words into human words.

Basically, we just look for God's Truth in words tainted by human ignorance, pride, and bias.

Thats a far more eloquent version of what I was about to say well done. You should read the Bible seeking the Word of God which is either revealed fairly directly (Thou shalt not kill, Love thy neighbour as thyselfetc) or throught the historical stories which teach a moral point. (they can be TRUE and HAVE A SECOND ALLEGORICAL meaning or they can just have the allegorical meaning)

Do you believe in the teachings of Jesus, or do you pick the parts you like too? Do you believe in miracles that he did? Do you believe that he was resurrected?
