[QUOTE="seebs, post: 25355561, member: 2070"] Groups that have adopted Biblical literalism as a hermeneutic have the problem that they often have [b]absolutely no basis for belief but this[/b]. They don't have tradition, they don't have guidance in how to interpret Scripture... So if they can't trust everything in the Bible to be literal fact, they can't see any way to support their whole philosophical stance. Thus, any claim which contradicts this stance is an assault on the entire faith, given those assumptions. This is why most Christians don't accept these assumptions. Anti-evolution stuff is fairly rare outside the US, where we got it from the fundamentalist revival movement. Ironically, the literalism in question is more modernist than evolution. [/QUOTE]
