Re: Slightly different direction...
This is probably one of the most successful methods of convincing a creationist about evolution - convince them that their religion is not in opposition to science: evolution says nothing about God, but it no more atheistic than a recipe for cake, which also says nothing about God.

no, doesn't work.

i've spent the last few years here getting at the basis of this premise, which fundamentalists do not agree with:

Re: Slightly different direction...
But you are certainly right that the fundamentalists will be nearly impossible to convince of this, but tell me, do you think it would be easier in comparison to convince those people with the science?
​
no, but i'm not sure it would be any more difficult, either. you're not going to convince them of anything. not even what the bible says, by laying it right in front of them.
