He is an agnostic who puts God in a box and dictated against God , and proclaims that God the creator is not a creator , so then he sides with the political left , probably more money there for his studies

You do not agree with him therefore he must be dishonest. You do not agree with him therefore he cannot be religious. Is there not a commandment against false testimony?
Many belief in both a god and evolution or god and plate tectonics or god and the expanding universe. Probably more belief in god and evoluton than beleive that you have the say in who is a Christian or who actually beleives in God.

I wasn't familiar with him specifically, but I've heard of his organization, BioLogos. I believe they have compromised in their belief. I don't believe evolution and Christianity are compatible and I think the organization-and him by extension--are willing to compromise that which they claim to believe.

You say he's "compromised" his beliefs.
Others might say he's incorporated truth into them.
But I realize truth is anathema to many "believers."
Considering you have been an outspoken critic of just about everything I believe in, the fact that you support him and not me is reassuring.
The fact you ignore truth in favour of myths is unsurprising. You keep your Fundashield burnished to a high gloss. But I'm happy you feel reassured. I understand that one whose faith rests on a shaky foundation needs all the assurance one can muster.

I would like to personally thank you and all of the other science deniers in conservative American Protestantism. You folks forced me to choose between reality and religion.
I chose reality. I am now free of religion.
Thank you.
