The RRR Cultists, as a group (and they have conned most of the fundamentalist professing Christians into supporting their agendas of ignorance and hate), are too bone-DENSE to figure out that a God that is intelligent, omniscient, and omnipotent would simply have no problem creating the evolutionary process right along with the rest of the universe.
Well -- that goes with the territory. A person would have to be awfully **stupid** to support an agenda that seeks to FORCE gestation of UNwanted pregnancies to term by girls and women against their will. (A very real, 9-month-long form of rape.)
And a person would have to be awfully **stupid** to oppose same-sex marriage, and support the passage of so-called "Defense of Marriage" acts... when no one has ever yet been able to explain just HOW **any** opposite-sex couple's marriage would be threatened if a cohabitating same-sex couple in their community we able to get legally married, and then did so.
So -- HOW DUMB are the lemmings of the "Religious" Radical Right (i.e., the RRR Cult)?
THAT dumb.
Good thing they comprise only 5% of Americans. That's the GOOD news.
Here's the BADS news:

LOL...
Christians do not respect the Pope as being God's earthly messenger. The Catholic church and the Protestant/Christian church, are separate belief systems.
The Catholic church has a lot of problems...the fact that they believe in evolution is only a drop in the bucket.
I think you need to study up a bit more on religions before you go Christian Bashing.

Because the Pope is an official whose authority is not outlined anywhere in the Bible. He is a leader of a false religion called Catholicism.
There are true Christian Catholics I am sure, but the things that Catholicism teachers are un-Biblical.
For example
- Worship of the saints
- Salvation through works
- Transubstantiation (they believe that bread and wine literally turns into body and blood of Jesus when priest does a special ceremony)
- They believe that the Pope has special authority to interpret the moral issues in the Bible

Because the Pope is just a person, who is a high target for satan. If the Pope isn't firm in his belief then the devil can get right in there and mislead him.
Popes have made bad decisions before, and they will later on, it's just a thing you have to accept.
P.S. The Pope is not of a higher power, he is not a deity or anything of the such. The Pope is just a priest who was elected by 900+ of he fellow priests to lead them. And yes, Cardinals, Priests, Bishops and Archbishops....and the Pope, and all just priests but with different responsibilities.

Because they've been brainwashed to see the pope as the figurehead of the "wrong" church... they believe he is a heretic and that the catholic church are not Christian.
They are blind about many things.

It's not that they understand The Bible better, it's that they are not as rational as the Catholic church. Which I must say is really really sad.

Fundie americans think catholics are not christians, and that they're going to hell.
Check out the hate literature in http://www.chick.com/catalog/tractlist.asp - there are about four comic 'tracts' explaining this.
It's a shame god couldn't have made his wishes clearer, isn't it? He's really bad at inspiring religious texts.

I would not say that Christians are blind or brainwashed thats way to judgemental, but about Evoultion it is called a Evoultionary theory means it has not been prooven their has been actual hardcore evidence that alot of the biblical events and ppl happned and existed im saying their is just as much evidence of the bible accounts as their is of evoultion, yet their are missing links in evoultion so how could you possible decide 100% of a doubt evoultion is what happned now this is what I dont understand.
