The big problem with the living-growing Pentacostal-Evangellical church todays is that it is far too literal. In other words, the most popular version of Christianity is the least plausible. Because, the fact is, the Earth is several billion years old, and much of the Torah simply is not historically accurate (et cetera) So there you go, the growing chuch believes in things that educated people find near-impossible to believe. Christianity is becoming a religion of the "working classes" and not of the "ruling classes".

There are many conservative denominations today just hopping on this slide, teaching that Genesis is a side issue and that you can accept an earth billions of years old and that God used evolution.
