Actually all Christians are Creationists in the proper sense. All Christians believe that God is the Creator of all that exists. But most Christians don't have to reject obvious facts of science in order to hang onto their wacky personal interpretations of the Bible. Where in the Bible does it say that their personal interpretations are infallible anyway? My Bible actually says that the scriptures are not for personal interpretation. Maybe they didn't read that part.

I believe in evolution.
Of course that is limited to this definition:
Evolution- The adaptability withing a species to the changing conditions of different environments.
Evolution as a means for one species to morph into another, is unproven and unsound scientific conjecture.

There is absolutely nothing more than speculation, that evolution, provided the raw materials for the astonishingly enormous variety of animal and plant life alive.

Christians are followers of Jesus Christ. The creation account is contained in the pre-Christian writings, thus creationism is not a prerequisite for being a Christian. The New Testament account is about "the word" being in the beginning, not about a master potter molding everything out of the void.

If Adam and Eve never existed, then neither did Jesus or you and me because the Word says that we ALL descended from Adam's loins.

Its a simple matter of you either believe all the Bible or none of it.

I think that a christian who believes in evolution needs to do a little more studying in thier bible.

I do not think they are Christians. the word "Christian" means "Christ-like" so do not get to say they are "Christ-like" and call God a liar at the same time

Christian evolutionist?
That's an oxymoron.
Can't happen without compromising both beliefs,
which makes you neither one.

I don't understand how that's possible, if you believe in the bible, which clearly states God made the earth, humans, and all animals how can you also believe that we evolved from chemicals, etc?
