>For completeness: modern literal creationism isn't a universal trait in religion. Ever since the geologists and evolutionists began theorizing long before Darwin, many of the mainstream churches have declared that there is no incompatibility between their beliefs and evolution that does not preclude a creator or undermine the concept of a soul.
"that does not preclude" usually means "so long as". <s>
I completely disagree with Rick, but I'll give him credit for greater consistency than the mainstream churches you're describing The latter wants to have it both ways.
