It is narrow, bigoted and uninformed. However, the folks that attempt to paint Christianity with a broad brush and say that these viewpoints/attitudes are representative of all Christians are being just as simplistic and bigoted as the folks they are criticizing. I am a Christian, and I accept evolutionary science (by the way, there are plenty of atheists who say that it's either/or too).<br />It seems to me that the real problem is that too many folks try to nail everything down. We don't all have to agree on everything - there's room in the in the realm of ideas for many different viewpoints. The underlying premise is "my way of looking at this is the only appropriate way to look at this - all other ways are just wrong!"<br />For all of those folks who have everything nailed down (Christian, Muslim, Atheist, etc.), I wish that you would be content in your certainty and leave the rest of us to our searching. Nevertheless, I suspect that Gavin is also correct about his assessment that a big chunk of that certainty is headed for extinction.Miller Jones/Lonnie C Hendrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865316200703641028noreply@blogger.com
