I didn't take that to mean all Christians, I took that to speak specifically about people who reject evolution because of their specific interpretation of the books. I could be wrong though.

And I would support Thor in that.

You say to show them the evidence.. that's the problem, is the evidence has been shown. Over and over. I've had it argued against me on this very forum that scientists are part of a conspiracy to promote evil evolution. That's the kind of thing where polite disagreement is over.

If someone honestly seeks to know more, that's great. If they are open to changing their mind, wonderful.

It's the dogmatic ones that reject evolution on principle because it disagrees with their interpretation of the inerrant scriptures that deserve no more politeness.
