I have been a Christian since childhood and I have always believed that evolution was Gods tool that he used to create us. No one ever taught me that, I just came to that belief on my own.

It’s curious, in general I agree. That said, there’s a huge difference between micro and macro evolution, while you can see micro evolution happen, macro evolution is a different game. Most genetic mutations are bad and our reproductive system is corrective. So how do the “good” mutations get carried forward and not the bad ones? Surely having four arms would be useful, so why didn’t we evolve to have them? Why not more eyes, some being in the back of the head? Then there’s the “irreducibly complex cell” problem.

The fact that the next species down (Orangutang?) is a massive intellectual drop, I’d like to know why there’s nothing in between us and them. I don’t think we’re any smarter today than before (you could argue less), just more technically knowledgeable.

I do think we’ll, one day, discover how things happened - and it’ll be more amazing than anything we’ve guessed to date.

In my view, God is the creator, and evolution is a mechanism for change that He designed. We didn’t evolve from apes, but are different species completely. We have some similarities, but we also have some unique genes and chromosomes that are not shared with any other species. Every species has their own unique set that aren’t shared, and aren’t just mutations.
