Cool people who, unlike their fundamentalist counterparts, don't need to turn their backs on modern science to keep their faith alive
The famous Jewish philosopher Maimonides once said that if science conflicts with Scripture, then it must be Scripture we have misunderstood.
It's sad these words of wisdom died out so long ago
Since creationists are likely to disagree with the idea that modern science like evolution is sufficiently supported, I'll go ahead and quote the renowned biologist Douglas Futuyma,
"The statement that organisms have descended with modifications from common ancestorsโthe historical reality of evolutionโis not a theory. It is a fact, as fully as the fact of the earth's revolution about the sun."
Theodosius Dobzhansky had this to say in his famous paper "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution",
"I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution is God's, or Nature's method of creation. Creation is not an event that happened in 4004 BC; it is a process that began some 10 billion years ago and is still under way."
He also wrote,
"Does the evolutionary doctrine clash with religious faith? It does not. It is a blunder to mistake the Holy Scriptures for elementary textbooks of astronomy, geology, biology, and anthropology. Only if symbols are construed to mean what they are not intended to mean can there arise imaginary, insoluble conflicts. ...the blunder leads to blasphemy: the Creator is accused of systematic deceitfulness."
Liberal/progressive Christians do not believe in a deceiving God. They know that, considering the overwhelming amount of evidence for evolution, to deny it would be equivalent to denying the existence of ancient Rome or Greece.

A private high school in High Point filled with fagbag soccer players and dumb rednecks that only talk about trucks and vape. The female teachers are idiots and the male teachers are pedophiles. Wesleyan has three soccer colleges including Messiah College, Indiana Wesleyan and Southern Wesleyan. Beware if you arenโt white because the school has KKK meetings every Thursday. If you do not play a sport there is a high chance that you will forget to be your own person and go to Appalachian State. Wesleyan is a great place to buy xanex or weed if you are in need of that.
โI went to high school at Wesleyan Christian Academy.โ
โOh that explains why youโre at App State!โ

A more liberal and accepting mindset among Christians. In the New Testament of the Bible, focus is directed more towards forgiveness and tolerance rather than the Old Testament themes of absolution and condemnation. Therefore, the Christians who tend not to force Bibles down people's throats are called New Testament Christians.
dude 1: "I accidentally texted Maura while she was at church last night."
dude 2: "Oh great, is she a Bible Thumper or something?"
dude 1: "Nah she's cool about it, she's a New Testament Christian."

High class, well dressed, athletic, geniuses. Not to mention they all look good. This all boys school located in Lincroft wins everything. These boys have national Nike Cross Country titles, All Star basketball pros, NJ State winning soccer, and nationally ranked Chess and Math teams. With an Olympic sizes pool the swim team is looking for even more titles to add. Along with the CBA Crew team, a team that travel all the way to Seattle, Washington just to WIN.
In short CBA boys are winners.
Charlie Sheen is winning but CBA (Christian Brothers Academy) simply wins.
