Biology is not founded on evolution. Christianity is literally founded on God, its apples and oranges
"My point was that you cannot compare facts with theology."
People who believe in a Christian God, which presumably includes everyone handing out Christianity degrees, take his existence as a fact. What you mean is that because *you* don't think its provable that *you* see a substantive difference. That's great, but you're not the one handing out the degrees, right?
Christianity is not founded on the belief that God is omnipresent, which is what Thorne's thesis was about. Do you remember the post that you misread?
If anyone has proof of anything of significance in religion, then there wouldn't be so many. Every sane person knows that 2 + 2 = 4. There are many denominations within Christianity and some of them do not believe that Jesus was God.
But, this is all a moot point. Some of the biggest and most prestigious seminaries don't care if you're an atheist or a member of another religion because they don't feel threatened. They are happy that others have taken an interest in learning about their religion. Besides, you can't convert people if they don't know anything about you. As long as a religion is unwelcoming and closed-minded, it can expect to shrink.
