Your faith does not need to be compromised at all. In light of the Christian view of our final destination, what does it matter when or how God may have created the Universe and each of us? As God is recorded as saying to Job:
"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundations?
(Job 38:4)
None of us were there, we don't know for certain how He did it...BUT evidence that our Universe is very old and that complex life forms have evolved from simpler ones does exist. These facts should not be threatening to anyone with a belief in a Supreme Being...God is God and can do anything He wants, whenever and however He pleases. Our task, it seems, is to believe in God's existence, lead moral lives, raise our children as best we can, and help others whenever the need arises. That is what Jesus taught...quite simply and with great humility.
I see nothing of Christ's humility and love in these discussions...what I do see plenty of though, is FEAR. Perhaps it is the fearfulness that we actually are required to exercise the brains that God so graciously gave us, instead of using a literal interpretation of the Bible as an excuse not to search and be thoughtful.
The parable of the talents comes to mind...
A gratuitous and thoughtless ad hominem.
Many of you like to point the finger at creationists and insist that they behave like your simplistic concept of the historical Jesus. Do you every wonder why your peace-and-love Jesus was hated? Why he was executed? Perhaps a more appropriate comparison would be between the indoctrinated evolutionists and the Pharisees who stopped up their ears before they stoned Stephen.
