There simply is no other choice for a Christian ; either you reject the clear evidence that exists from the physical world, or you adjust your understanding and interpretation of the Bible
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
"Let God be true, and every man a liar."
As you can see, it requires no such thing that I reject evidence. My attitude is very simple, I have confidence that the future will reveal more and more that will continue to demonstrate that God is correct.
I do not reject; I hold it in abeyance until the explanation arrives.
Didn't some geneticist recently postulate "Eve" as the mother of humanity?
The bottom line: (1) The Bible is right; (2) The bible is wrong.
Why would it be right in its overall message, if it is wrong in its foundational message? That is, Christ's atonement was necessary because of the fallen race of man descended from Adam.
If Adam is a "myth," then what does that say about Christianty? And what does it say about evolution's real attitude toward Christianity.
On the one hand....myth. On the other hand...factual knowledge.
It says that evolution is actually atheistic.
" As you can see, it requires no such thing that I reject evidence. My attitude is very simple, I have confidence that the future will reveal more and more that will continue to demonstrate that God is correct.

That's rejection. The explanation HAS arrived; parts of the Bible are not consistent with the physical evidence.
" Didn't some geneticist recently postulate "Eve" as the mother of humanity?"
No.
" The bottom line: (1) The Bible is right; (2) The bible is wrong."
Or 3) Parts of the Bible are right, and parts of it are wrong.
" If Adam is a "myth," then what does that say about Christianty?"
It has some 'splainin to do.
"And what does it say about evolution's real attitude toward Christianity."
That depends on which interpretation of Christianity you are talking about.
" On the one hand....myth. On the other hand...factual knowledge.
It says that evolution is actually atheistic."
It says no such thing. Again, you make the logical fallacy that if evolution says something that disagrees with Christianity, that that means it's atheistic. Christianity is not the only theistic religion. By your logic, anybody who didn't believe in your version of Christianity was an atheist because they didn't accept YOUR God. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. You don't get to reinvent the meanings of words. The fact is evolution says NOTHING for or against the possible existence of a God. It's no different that any other science.
