Here's an interesting quote I thought I'd share from Thomas Huxley, one of history's preeminent proponents of evolution.
“If the Gospels truly report that which an incarnation of the God of Truth communicated to the world, then it surely is absurd to attend to any other evidence touching matters about which he made any clear statement, or the truth of which is distinctly implied by his words. If the exact historical truth of the Gospels is an axiom of Christianity, it is as just and right for a Christian to say, Let us ‘close our ears against suggestions’ of scientific critics, as it is for the man of science to refuse to waste his time upon circle-squarers and flat-earth fanatics.”
– Thomas H. Huxley, Science And Hebrew Tradition Essays, p. 230, 1897.
