How many died-in-the-wool evolutionists have seen the Light and gone to God? And how many Bible/Koran thumpers have abandoned superstition and embraced Godless science/atheism?

What in the world makes you think that believe inevolution and belief in God ar mutually exclusive?
The vast majority of Christians believe in evolution. Even Pope John Paul II said "Evolution is much more than mere theory." I was taught that evolution was correct in both Catholic High School and Catholic University.
Catholics make up more than half the Christians in the world. But the vast majority of Protestants believe that Evolution is true as well. It is really just a fringe group of Christian Extremists that have a problem with it.
The irony here is that they believe that creation is true because they claim to take the Bible literally. But these same people do not believe in transubstantiation. They believe that Jesus was speaking symbolically when he said "This is my body" and "This is my blood." I find it incredible that they believe that God can speak symbolically in the New Testament -- but is incapable of it in the Old Testament.

you can believe in both, how can a god tell uneducated people about evolution, i asked a question why would god need rest after he made the heavens and the earth when he is immortal, all christians told me it was symbolic to have a day for worship, well there you go you can say that about evolution when he made the heaven and the earth dont you think that is symbolic for evolution?

There's definitely room for both beliefs, but I personally am more inclined to believe in evolution. To me, evolution makes more sense then the world being created in six days, scientifically speaking. However, to each their own. I can't force anyone to believe what I believe.

Switching between god and evolution?! That's like switching laundry detergent with bowling balls. One has nothing to do with the other.

Who exactly says one can't believe in God AND evolution? False dichotomies are the refuge of those who can't think.

I believe in G-d and Evolutionism. The Torah and Evolutionism do not contradict each other in any way.
