Now YOU are the one being a hypocrite, and defining us all into one group.
I specifically set up a couple of questions meant to determine if you really conformed to the classic fundamentalist. Your answers was not what I expected, and I'm currently re-evaluating my position about you.

"No, but it makes me wonder why you refuse to answer a simple question: what is it about evolution that either (A) denies your personal belief in your personal God, or (B) makes it necessarily a tool of Satan?
Between the two, this will be the third time I've asked you this question."
Yeah isn't it pretty obvious.
I'm sorry, but it is not obvious.
Your own personal beliefs are just that: personal. I can't presume to know yours, that's why I wonder too, and as you do disclose more details about what it is about evolution that doesn't agree with you, we will have better understanding.
Many Christians have many misconceptions about evolution, and since you are not a fundamentalist, you should have an easier time realizing that some of the things you know about evolution might be wrong.
I'll use Creation88 as a perfect example: He thinks that evolution is saying that atoms randomly formed the first bacterial DNA, and that evolution violates the laws of thermodynamics.
None of this is true, but a classical fundamentalist refuses to accept that he might be wrong in any aspect remotely connected to his religion. |

That's why I repeatedly (though inconsistently) stress that we are talking about Biological Evolution. Evolution can be applied to so much more, such as computer program development (like LINUX), or in politics the development of a bill.
