    The simple answer is, generally no. Most modern Christians are far more moderate and flimsy in their beliefs than one might think. There’s always going to be extremists in any situation, but someone that identifies as a “Christian” in the modern world is generally shaped by the modern world. You’ll be hard pressed to find someone deny basic science in today’s world.

      They don’t outright deny it (out loud), but they cast doubt and equivocate about the parts that don’t agree with their preexisting worldview.

      Edit: not to mention they often disagree with scientists on what constitutes “basic” or “settled” science.
