Without commenting on it, I'd like to repost the relevant parts so people can judge my allegation that what HWS101 said isn't what you argued against:

highwaystar101
"Evolution and the big bang are perfectly compatible theories with Christianity, as long as long as you accept god was the creator then why couldn't evolution and the big bang just be his methods of creation?"

"One may embrace creationism or not, but if you call yourself a Christian (that means not only accepting Christ as your Saviour, but also accepting what He taught and He didn't change the Old Testament nor the Creation account), it's utterly stupid to believe "in" evolution. I repeat, I'm not referring to discuss if evolution is true or not, I'm pointing out that saying to be Christian and believing in evolution isn't simply compatible."

Final-Fan
"I think you're putting way too much on the phrase "believing IN evolution". Most people who might say yes to "do you believe in evolution?" really mean that they are confident in the correctness of the theory, not that they subscribe dogmatically to some mythical faith revolving around evolution."

Baroque_Dude
"That's why I put "believe "in" evolution. Do you see that?"

Again, I just wanted to put that so people can remember what we were even talking about.

And I just wanted to comment here so people can see that you copy and paste according to your convenience...

My supposed last reply WASN'T that. Stop manipulating. I already replied you on that and everybody CAN check my posts and realize how strangely you're acting.

"That's why I put "believe "in" evolution. Do you see that?
"We humans accept and assume things differently, sometimes. When I say that they believe in evolution I was precisely referring to what you said, although I must also say that a lot of people accept it "just because".
"Regards."

Oh wow, I can see how the full version of your reply completely changes the meaning, in that it doesn't at all.  HWS101's paraphrase describes that "confidence in evolutionary theory's correctness" is an option; your argument is that "subscribing to a faith about evolution" is not an option.   

Or is the problem that "I was precisely referring to what you said" doesn't specify WHICH one you're talking about?  Is your position that even thinking that evolutionary theory might be correct is incompatible with being Christian?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
