"Evolution does not mean that life is an accident", you say...as if that's the KEY POINT that the "atheists" make when referencing "evolution". Does "evolution" lend support to the notion of a "Christian God"? and, if not...then, why make the point that "Evolution does not mean life is an accident"?
Stop been overly "worldly"...and choose a side in these arguments. If you are a "Christian"...then you embrace "creationism" and you denounce "evolution". There is no "middle ground" in Christianity. A Christian cannot serve "two masters".

Why doesn't evolution fit in with the idea of Christianity? What ever gave you the idea a Christian has to embrace creationism? I understand you hate the Roman Catholic Church (your words), and I have stated the Church's official position on evolution several times before, in the original thread. Evolution is totally compatible with Christianity and is taught in Catholic schools.
The two masters are God or money, not God versus science.
The key point to an atheist is his lack of belief in a Creator and life is an accident.
Our government is a system of elected representatives who are suppose to represent the voter. Why would I or anyone else want to elect a representative who has a conflict with the idea my rights as a citizen are irrevocable and that they can be revoked because there is no Creator (God). That would be plain stupidity.
