That hasn't been my experience. I think most of them are aware that not all believers in Christianity and Judaism reject evolution, but at the same time I would expect that if they had any accurate knowledge of the Bible they would recognize it isn't in accord with Darwinian evolution so the assumption would be a logical one.
@AkioTsukino In Judaism, the Torah (Old Testament) was analogies and not really supposed to be taken literally. Somewhere… some Christians have lost that message, but it’s kind of important.

@DarkHeaven If Adam wasn't created by Jehovah God, and sinned, as the Torah says, then the sacrifice of Jesus wasn't necessary and wasn't real. So, Christians without faith, who are Christians more than likely only in name for traditional or social reasons, want to make it look like they are in the group of intelligent modern people by believing in evolution. It's group think. Jesus and the apostles didn't refer to Adam's creation, and the Torah as analogies. Because they were real.
@AkioTsukino I’m guessing my point on analogies was lost on you. So please tell me more of what I believe.

@AkioTsukino I'm not trying to tell you what you believe, I wouldn't presume to do that. I'm just pointing out what I have observed by posting in forums like this for 30 years.
@AkioTsukino that’s fair. and honestly in forums like this you probably end up speaking mostly to the way more literal and fire and brimstone type. I’ve actually studied most of the texts in their original language and many of the more problematic scriptures rarely mean what fundamentalists think it does, either because of mistranslation (either on accident because the languages don’t line up or grammar differences… or sometimes on purpose for political reasons by the king commissioning it,) misunderstanding, or even outright misinterpretation for biased reasons.
