People who call themselves Christians but who do not accept creationism,
such as theistic evolutionists, are seriously misguided. The same applies
even to those who reject a particular interpretation of creationism, such
as young-earth creationism. The Bible does not allow such compromises.
Those who disparage the Christianity of Christian theistic
evolutionists (many creationists deny that theistic evolutionists can
even be Christian) show only their own arrogance and hubris. The
claimants are saying that they, not God, get to dictate the proper way
for another person to relate to God and the Bible. A religious
relationship with God is a personal matter; it cannot effectively be
decided by total strangers.
Many creationists are themselves compromisers. They compromise on
major factual matters, rejecting the flat earth and solid firmament
that a plain literal reading indicates. They compromise on details --
for example, allowing insects and other "creeping things with the
breath of life" not to be on Noah's ark as the Bible says. They
compromise on biblical teachings, such as the numerous dietary and
other laws in Exodus through Deuteronomy. Most of all, they compromise
on Christian theology, rejecting the spirit of Christ's teaching to be
humble in one's religion (e.g., Matt. 6:1-6).
