Marrying a creationist (evolution, attend, church, marriage, Christians)

[Seyorni]

Creation and evolution address two different subjects. There's no reason one can't believe in both, unless creationism is defined very broadly.

One addresses agency, ie: Who did it? The other addresses mechanism, ie: How was it done? These aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

I believe my truck was created by Ford. I also believe in automotive engineering.

I'd say so. How many Jedi masters didn't know the eternal Tao?

Interesting story. These fundamentalists don't seem as impassioned as the ones I know, that's all I can say. As there are many sorts of beliefs and ideas inherent (almost) in fundamentalism (assuming it is fundamentalism), for instance that would say that a Quaker would go to hell (if she didn't believe in the literal word of the Bible. In some ways more devout in her beliefs than he was in his. If it were the reverse, probably wouldn't work. But strange things can happen. You always hear of the right wing Republicans and left wing Democrats marrying and there are some well knonw couples. I think in some ways that would be harder for me.
