[quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma][quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Christian (a practicing mainline Protestant) and I absolutely accept evolution.[/quote]Where does the Christian God fit with evolution?[/quote]I'm not a believer, but I see no contradiction in the God that could create the universe being able to program the life in that universe to evolve.[/quote]But the CHRISTIAN God who didn't come along until 1AD?[/quote]
When you say "God", that means to me the One Creator -- the one Jews believe in, Christians believe in, Muslims believe in, and atheists like me do not believe in.  Semantically, I think that is the generally understood meaning of the term.  Christianity is a way of worshipping that God, not the creator of a new God.

BTW, I don't mean to imply that I am limited to not believing in the One God. [b] I also don't believe in the other gods that people have created through the ages[/b], although I was always partial to the Greek gods, who seemed to have such a good time interfering in our human endeavors.[/quote]

PP, can you elaborate on this? I mean no snark, and am genuinely curious about how people authenticate which versions of god are more "right" or "true" to them. Why is the Abrahamic god more authentic to you than say, Hindu, Shinto, Mayan, Ancient Egyptian, or Greek gods? [/quote]
