I've never met a Christian I couldn't stereotype

The following are not true in the general case:

"But evolution conflicts with the Bible, the world’s bestseller, which proclaims all life was created in its present form by God."

The Bible says the world was "created in six days 6,000 years ago."

"Fossils, cave paintings and tombs over 6,000 years old, along with noticeable changes in entire species, prove evolution occurs."

Now, I'm no creationist, and to me the concept of "Evolution" is not a theory or a law but just an observation, and an obvious one, at that. (and spare the discussion of "observations are what laws are") No one takes the Bible as literally as Mr. Adams seems to think they do. When God "created man," the Bible isn't particularly specific as to how, and there's no contradiction to be found in "God created man through evolution." You can also find the "God caused the Big Bang" theory put forward by Christians and deists alike. And I've seen these, despite never actually looking for theological debates. If you do, I'm sure you'll find loads of interesting ideas.

But that might get in the way of a good stereotype. So nevermind.
