"a small but vocal minority of religious fundamentalists misread the theory
of evolution as a challenge to their deeply held religious convictions."
Misread? Where's the misreading? Evolution undermines any notion of the
inerrancy of the Bible; god has not created man. Of course, evolution is a
red herring in that respect since the Bible can be proved to be inaccurate
on any number of counts.
"are Christians who believe that if God did not personally intervene in the
development of life on earth then they have no basis for belief, morality,
and the meaning of life."
They are certainly correct that without it they have no basis for some
belief - since it undermines the basis of their beleifs. Without that one is
left with the moribund condition of faith without mandated doctrine.
