Saying something about someone's religion is inevitably a personal attack, even if you don't mean it that way. You keep your faith and I'll keep mine, leave it at that. I don't remember Jesus ever saying I needed to carefully follow a set interpretation of the bible or even be a Christian at all to be saved, only that I needed to believe in him and the principles he set forth. I'd go further, but this is creationism vs evolution, not protestant vs catholic. Believe what you wish, I've no criticism for someone with strong faith, like yourself, only praise. Just give other methods of belief a chance rather than shooting them down because they don't agree with what you think. I would be happy to discuss this further if you'd care to make a different thread, if not, I'll drop it here.

I really didn't handle this topic very well; I mentioned that earlier. My point that I was trying to get across was instead of being a personal attack, it was intended to make you realize that you must have more in order to be saved. The Bible clearly says that if you do not have the complete Gospel, you will not be saved. You can't have any errors and be saved. I'm not sure if this includes Evolution but still, by believing that, you are rejecting the foundation of the Word of God. I don't know if that would actually condemn you eternally but I do know that it is more risky then believing the truth, Creation. Also, you say, "I don't remember Jesus ever saying I needed to carefully follow a set interpretation of the bible or even be a Christian at all to be saved, only that I needed to believe in him and the principles he set forth"? I would recommend you reading the Bible again. This clearly is opinion based off of man's interpretation and not derived from the Bible. My goal is not to offend you; it is to let you be saved for eternity. God wants all men to be saved; this includes you. By teaching you, it is giving you the opportunity to be eternally saved.

This article presents a logical and frequently referenced argument against creationism. I essentially agree with it, so I encourage you to read it and the part two, which is linked at the bottom of this part one. It is lengthy, as it covers a large spectrum of creationist viewpoints including many you have argued, so I ask your patience, and it can quite be biting at times, but it is without a doubt an excellent argument, better than anything I could write.

Once again, thanks for giving the link but I would rather you just post here the most important ideas.
Is it just me or did you leave out most of the ideas that I had refuted? Would you mind answering them sometime when you get a chance?
