Cool people who, unlike their fundamentalist counterparts, don't need to turn their backs on modern science to keep their faith alive
The famous Jewish philosopher Maimonides once said that if science conflicts with Scripture, then it must be Scripture we have misunderstood.
It's sad these words of wisdom died out so long ago
Since creationists are likely to disagree with the idea that modern science like evolution is sufficiently supported, I'll go ahead and quote the renowned biologist Douglas Futuyma,
"The statement that organisms have descended with modifications from common ancestors—the historical reality of evolution—is not a theory. It is a fact, as fully as the fact of the earth's revolution about the sun."
Theodosius Dobzhansky had this to say in his famous paper "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution",
"I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution is God's, or Nature's method of creation. Creation is not an event that happened in 4004 BC; it is a process that began some 10 billion years ago and is still under way."
He also wrote,
"Does the evolutionary doctrine clash with religious faith? It does not. It is a blunder to mistake the Holy Scriptures for elementary textbooks of astronomy, geology, biology, and anthropology. Only if symbols are construed to mean what they are not intended to mean can there arise imaginary, insoluble conflicts. ...the blunder leads to blasphemy: the Creator is accused of systematic deceitfulness."

Liberal/progressive Christians do not believe in a deceiving God. They know that, considering the overwhelming amount of evidence for evolution, to deny it would be equivalent to denying the existence of ancient Rome or Greece.

Get the Radical Liberal mug.The only DECENT animal caring group. They have raided plenty of science labs that use poor and helpless animals for useless and sloppy experiments. During the raid they had rescued hundreds of animals; rabbits, dogs, monkeys and even cats who have had their own eyes sewn toghether, therefor making them blind.
During the raid, they had rescued a famous baby monkey known as Britches. The lab taken poor Britches away from his mother the day he was born. What happened to Britches was horrific. His eyelids had been sewn and lived for three dark and lonely years blind. He was deprived of nearly everything. Until 1985, when the ALF rescued him. He was in a mental condition and had body spasms because he was in such a small space, blind with no one around.
The ALF restored his eyesight by taking the sewings out. The monkey had gotten better every day and was able to eat, drink and walk by himself. Britches was even very playful!
The ALF are truly heroes, unlike PETA.
