→George Bernard Shaw
He also dealt with evolution, in the play ''Back to Methuselah'' and the Preface to it—in a way which will not please either evolutionists or creationists. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 11:10, 20 January 2007 (EST)

==Mark Twain==
????? Mark Twain a Christian? True, he did write:
:All that is great and good in our civilization came straight from the hand of Jesus Christ.
But he also wrote:
:If Christ were here now there is one thing he would not be—a Christian.
And he wrote:
:A man can be a Christian ''or'' a patriot, but he can't legally be both a Christian ''and'' a patriot—except in the usual way: one of the two with the mouth, the other with the heart.
And
:This is a Christian country. Why, so is hell. Inasmuch as "Strait is the way and narrow is the gate, and few-few-are they that enter in thereat" has had the natural effect of making hell the only really prominent Christian community in any of the worlds; but we don't brag of this and certainly it is not proper to brag and boast that America is a Christian country when we all know that certainly five-sixths of our population could not enter in at the narrow gate.
