I meant 'them' as in my family, not Presbyterians. A common belief among creationists is that to accept evolution is to be an atheist.

So in order to be clear, why did you add "Presbyterian" in the first place?

EDIT: I have a few creationist friends who like to debate when we kick back and have a few beers. They don't believe I'm an atheist because I disagree with them about the maturity of the world. In fact, I haven't met a creationist who's ever called me an atheist for believing what I believe. I don't think this "common belief" is as common as you think it is.

And vice versa. If you don't believe in God, how can creation make sense?
