Fez, I am unable to use private messages. I hope that I will someday, if I can show good conduct and good intentions over time. However, I would love to discuss things with you in a private environment. You seem willing to listen to what I have to say, and willing to share what you know with me as well. Do you have any suggestions?

Curiously, your denial has no bearing on millions of Christians who do just that. I believe they are referring to Christianity, with a literal translation of the Bible. I believe MorningGlory is stating that anyone who believes in evolution does not believe what the Bible is stating, and therefore are not truly Christian. I may be wrong. But this is what it sounds like to me.

Why would you be concerned with a thing? Is not faith stronger than the seeds sown by the evil one?

Going along with those comments, and maybe teaching you something, as you say you wish to learn. What the bible calls the bolded parts of your post is called pride. The first of the 7 deadly sins? And as to saying in order to learn you must compare the Christian's belief's to what you believe. Could you tell me what you do believe? You see teaching is a two way street, there are questions and there are answers. Now I will agree with you not all the answers make sense, nor do you have to agree with them, but you entered Worthy as an unbeliever, seeking answers by your own admission, so what do you believe? Blessings I would be happy to share what I believe (Share, not preach. lol). However, I do not wish to hijack this post. It's going in so many directions already. Plus, I do not wish to force someone to hear my beliefs unless they wish to. So, I will see if this forum allows private messages, and I will write something up for you tomorrow. If it does not support PM, we can set a time in the chat room, or I can make a new thread or something. As for your claim that my desire to make others think originating from pride, I would allow for that possibility. The human mind is such a complex thing. One can say that they know why they do things, but who really knows for sure? At least on the surface, I like to believe that I am doing my part to further enlightenment for others. Even if I say something dumb, and it reaffirms what someone else feels, that is okay by me. Even better is if I actually mutter something intelligent and it causes them to think hard about what I said. Even if their conclusion does not fit what I have said I still consider it a success. I just like to help people, or cause people, to reach that level of deep thought. In the end, I don't feel it matters who "wins" a debate concerning religion or spiritualism. The hope is that we all learn something through the process of discussing the matter. I came to Worthy Chat because I wanted to learn more about Christianity, and most here have been surprisingly helpful.

Evolution does that... lol That was clever, and humorous.

I would love to contribute here, but this thread is a mess. I guess I will try to answer the original question, because the rest of the thread is just people trying to prove random points at one another, thus branching the topic into eleventy-two different directions. So, the original question was "Why do I care?" I am here to learn. I study all religions. In order to learn the Christian belief, I must explore all aspects of this belief. I must compare it to what I believe, and yes, even challenge it a bit. I am not here to convince anyone of anything, but if I can cause someone to think, I'll confess that as my selfish indulgence. I cannot speak for other evolutionists. Some of them just like conflict. Some of them enjoy arguing. Some enjoy debating (There is a difference). And some of them are just jerks. lol But that is why I am here. I wish to learn, and encourage other to think. What they think is unimportant to me.

So.. What was the evidence against the article? I missed it.
