As the evidence for evolution via natural selection becomes as obvious as the existence of the sun, more and more Christian sects are backing away from the denouncements of evolution they made many years ago.
Which sects are still holding out, claiming that evolution is a satanic lie?

Catholics, Presbytereans and Mormons (Latter-day Saints) have all quit denouncing evolution. I'm sure there are many others.
For those who are blasting evolution or natural selection, please describe your faith so it is a matter of public record.

It isn't sects but a section of extreme conservative evangelicals. Their challenge to evolution is no longer credible in the face of overwhelming evidence showing evolution to be a fact so they can rightly be dismissed as cranks.

Fundamentalist Christians and conservative denominations that take the Bible to must be interpreted literally.
Catholics and many moderate to liberal Christian denominations have no problem with evolution. My sister is Congregationalist and I have a friend who is Episcopalian and both work in medicine and studied and consider evolution theory to be valid. Their religions have no issue with it. I think there are a lot of fundamentalist Christians on Yahoo so that may bias your response. These denominations deny that denominations of Christianity who accept evolution are really Christian.

Well, since Catholicism makes up 80% of the world's Christians, and Catholics have (as a church, anyway) accepted as true the tenets of evolutionary theory, it's only a feeble minority, mostly located in the USA, that's holding out. They call themselves "Bible-believing", but so do Catholics and other Christian denominations; and in any case, do Bible-believing Christians believe that a bat is a bird? (Lev 11:19)

True Bible believing Christians must reject the theory of evolution...There is no room for compromise with a theory that tries to eliminate the Creator.
According to Scripture NOTHING evolved but everything was created "AFTER THEIR KIND"....which is directly consistent with the fossil record.
"From the beginning of the Creation God made them male and female..."-- Jesus (Mk. 10:6)
Scripture says God SPOKE all things into existence with His Word:
" By the Word of the Lord were the heavens created, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.... For HE SPAKE AND IT WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED AND IT STOOD FAST". (psalm 33:6-9)

i've got not got a finished record. i know that i would be warding off all religions that are purely like the Baptist or worse. it somewhat is totally very like denying that electrical energy works. No technologies is predicated in faith. BTW the Catholic Priest/Physicist Georges Lemaitre that theorized the enormous Bang did so solely from clinical assertion. He by no ability referred to because it enormous Bang he referred to because it his "hypothesis of the primeval atom." enormous Bang became into coined via enemy physicist that did no longer in basic terms like the concept. while his Bishop spoke of that it became into like the Genesis tale it made Georges Lemaitre mad and he as we talk despatched a letter explaining that the concept had no longer something to do with theology and requested that the Bishop no longer imprecise the hypothesis because it may be counter efficient to technology. /.

Pentecostal and Apostolic only believe in micro-evolution.
All other types (cosmic to planetary) are only theories.

Evolution is a myth and there is nobody that really supports it.It is a made up excuse.
