Re: Getting through a thick skull
There is nothing inconsistent with Christianity (most versions of it, anyway) and evolution.
There is, however, a lot of conflict between evolution and the Bible.
Taken at face value, the Bible's version of the emergence of life on Earth is a fairytale.
The Christian groups who accept that there is no conflict between the Bible and evolution have to interpret genesis to fit their preconceived notions of how life emerged.
It is funny that they can accept Genesis as allegory yet have problems that Jesus' resurrection is allegorical. Jesus simply did come back to life three days after He 'died', but Adam and Eve's adventure simply has to be a myth because it goes against all scientific evidence. But, dying and coming back to life three days later is completely plausible!
If Christianity is compatible with evolution, then Christianity is also compatible with fairytales.

Does the law of gravity dictate that you shouldn't be able to pick up the chair?
