I don't believe that it's logically possible, but I'm interested what others think. Please explain either way.

No because the bible is a made up book formatted by fucked up humans who were after controlling people.
Bible thumpers over the years have become very skilled at warping evolution and the bible together.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Don't have to believe in bible word for word, but it's a good collection of stories for moral guidance.Comment

Adam, Eve, and Noah's Ark vs. primates evolving into humans.
There are no similarities at all. It is completely illogical to believe "both."
People who take the bible literally are idiots.

You can't "believe in" evolution any more than you can "believe in" gravity! They are both observable phenomena. Faith is not a prerequisite.
Unlike gods.Comment

I'm sorry - but if you use the bible as a moral foundation then something is wrong with you. The bible is full of horrible things.
If you are "religious" and don't believe in the bible, what's your focal point?
Having that said, I have no respect for those who cherry pick the bible for things they want to believe. All it does is allow you to live your life how you want and morally justify it by disregarding teachings that make you uncomfortable.
This is dangerous because the bible is a big book. Anyone could come up with select verses that support essentially anything - including rape, incest, murder, prostitution, ect."We praise or find fault, depending on which of the two provides more opportunity for our powers of judgement to shine."Comment

Remember that the bible was written (and several times rewritten) in tough times and ages where people had no education at all. When governments were puppets of organized churches Therefore, some concepts in the bible were simply meant to mesmerize the population and put them under the control of the churches. The dude walking on water, the sea separating in two, the flood, Noe's Ark, the Zombie in the cave, and life that appeared overnight and stayed the same for ever. Remember that until a few centuries ago, Christians thought that the big plagues were the wrath of God. So, anyone educated can understand that what's in that book is some form of metaphore and should stick only to the spiritual side of the Christian church: be good to others and to yourself. The rest is filler and manipulation... One can believe in the natural cycle of evolution and still be a Christian.
Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.
