How much did God affect evolution? continued

Have you ever considered the possibility that having Atheists hanging around the front porch of a Christian establishment is maybe not the best advertising?

Then maybe you have a chance of getting them inside

My intent was to enlist your help in clearing up the air waves here, and encourage you to speak more to the issue of how Theists can embrace Evolution - - rather than to convince Creationists that the best way to understand Evolution is to assume a Godless stance.

Is this really so difficult for you nowadays?

Thanks for clarifying @gbrooks9. Do you think @T_aquaticus explicitly needs to write every time he posts something he’s said probably a thousand times?

This didn’t used to be an issue. Sometimes he spoke in his Atheist voice… but for the most part, it didn’t seem to come up that often.

He spoke “as though” a Creationist’s belief in intelligent design was not an obstacle. And he and I would spend almost the same amount of time on the question of what Science is able to say about design… rather than challenge “design” itself.

Arguing over the “Design” part of one’s Christian Faith seems like such a non-starter … it diverts the discussion from what should be a point of agreement, and sends any productive energy to an entirely irrelevant piece of business.
