Can a person be a Christian and believe in the science of evolution?

Below is a response to a poll I took. I felt I needed to explain my answer, as the poll was a little narrow. I had selected the answer, A person cannot be a Christian and believe in evolution

Anyway, I thought the answer was good enough to bring here.
--cut and paste begins after this line-

I think the evolutionist disregards God's word.

Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Evolution removes the need for a savior, much less the Savior.

While an evolutionist can claim the name of Christ, and even practice some elements of His earthly ministry, he cannot recognize his own fallen condition. It is, for him, a condition of evolution, and not Adam's transgression. Without the first Adam, there can be no second Adam.

While he may "accept Christ", the Christ he accepts is not the one of the Bible.

That's why I answered the way I did, even though he can be a Christian in the broadest sense of the term (as the LDS and JW are as well), they have created for themselves a false christ, and this false one cannot save them.

IMHO

God Bless,

Robert
