Sure I did. My point was that Evangelical and Fundamentalist are not interchangable.
... and...The contemporary North American usage of the term reflects the impact of the evangelical/fundamentalist controversy of the early 20th century. Evangelicalism may sometimes be perceived as the middle ground between the theological liberalism of the mainline denominations and the cultural separatism of fundamentalism.
By the mid-1950s, largely due to the ecumenical evangelism of Billy Graham, the terms evangelicalism and fundamentalism began to refer to two different approaches. Fundamentalism aggressively attacked its liberal enemies; Evangelicalism downplayed liberalism and emphasized outreach and conversion of new members[13]
While some conservative evangelicals[which?] believe the label has broadened too much beyond its more limiting traditional distinctives, this trend is nonetheless strong enough to create significant ambiguity in the term.[14] As a result, the dichotomy between "evangelical" and "mainline" denominations is increasingly complex, particularly with such innovations as the "emergent church" movement.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelical_Catholic
In Roman Catholicism, the term evangelical Catholic refers to Catholics in complete communion with the Catholic Church who exhibit, according to Alister McGrath, the four characteristics of evangelicalism. The first is a strong theological and devotional emphasis on the Christian Scriptures. Secondly, evangelical Catholics stress the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the cause of salvation for all mankind. A personal need for interior conversion is the third defining mark, and, consequently, the fourth is a deep commitment to evangelization.

From my understanding, it means "does not equal."

Hm. Well, color me enlightened!
In any case, the Protestant Evangelicals we're talking about certainly are fundamentalists.
The intersection of the two sets is usually quite large. Anyway, back to the op... It is an interesting article.From my understanding, it means "does not equal."

The fundies will resist any change in thought. Because without a literal Garden of Eden, there is no fall... No fall, no need for reconciliation... No need for reconciliation, no need for a saviour.
It's a major blow to the entire Xian mythology.
