Hi Jerry,

  That's a very good point! As I noted, if you hold that the Bible is true 
and authoritive, then you can't accept evolution, and you give a good point 
to substatiate this claim. 
  It might be further noted that if you don't hold the Bible authoritive, 
then you pretty much reject the Gospel message, and as Paul put it "you have 
believed in vain." (1 Cor. 15:2, NIV) So, to answer Barry Drake directly 
(something I didn't do in the first message), I think it is safe to say that 
rejecting the Genesis creation account throws away the authority of the Bible 
and the Gospel - and if that is the case in someone's life, how can they be 
Christian?
