I have to agree. While I wouldn't actually consider myself a Christian,
I would say that a majority of the "Christians" I know have little
complaint with evolution. They consider the Bible an example, not a
rule, which seems to be a major problem with the way the bible is
translated these days.

Now for the flame:
Creationsism is BOGUS! There are numerous people who say that evolution
is obviousl;y the way life got to the point it is at now. There is ONE
source that says life was "created" by some "God". Everyone else just
joined the bandwagon. Why don't you "fuzzy headed fundamentalists" start
to realize that while there is no positive proof for evolution, it makes
a hell of a lot more sense than creationism. I guess we'll always have
the people who won't pull their head out of the sand, though.
