Perhaps I still have not found well chosen but
charitable words for these occasions. Excuse
me.

I see them as honest Bible believers. They are certainly
not uncaring, selfish and amoral people who con the
life saving our of the hands of little old ladies.

They are however locked in several self-destructive
loop

all evolutionists are atheists
X accepts evolution
therefore they are an atheist

all God's creation that claims evolution is wrong
science claims evolution
therefore, it is wrong

I don't really care what people use to keep their faith,
but if they insist ONLY THEIR WAY is right or I am a
compromising, tratorous heretic, I kind of get a little
curt with them.

We must yield to the facts. And who are we to complain
to God about how we were made? Isn't this the pot
complaining to the potter? Evolution is all the more
reason why we need salvation through Jesus Christ. We
really can't get there without it!

by Grace alone we proceed,
