"Religious Leaders" For Evolution?

The following quoted excerpts from a CNN.com article demonstrate that apostacy has risen to a level where "religious people" teach doctrines that deny the inpiration and infalliablilty of God's word, specifically where creation and intelligent design is concerned:

But pastors are speaking out against it. Warren Eschbach, a retired Church of the Brethren pastor and professor at Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania helped sponsor a letter signed by more than 10,000 other clergy.

"We believe that the theory of evolution is a foundational scientific truth, one that has stood up to rigorous scrutiny and upon which much of human knowledge and achievement rests," they wrote.

Catholic experts have also joined the movement.

"The intelligent design movement belittles God. It makes God a designer, an engineer," said Vatican Observatory Director George Coyne, an astrophysicist who is also ordained. "The God of religious faith is a god of love. He did not design me."

Why would anyone bother to call themself a "Christian," and not believe that the word of God is infallible? If the Bible contains error, then no portion of it is trustworthy, and our faith is in vain. If we claim to be Christian, then we must believe that the Bible is inerrent, and that God created man, the heavens and the earth as He said:

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth[...] 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. [...] 8 [...]So the evening and the morning were the second day. [...] 13 So the evening and the morning were the third day. [...] 19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day. [...] 23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day. [...] 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so. 31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
