Permit me to jump in here. I don't want to convince you of anything. But I can see that you are sincere, and it bothers me to see someone who thinks his religion actually depends on a flat-out rejection of a well-established scientific theory. I don't think a choice like that is good for science or religion, so I'd like to give you what may be a new way to think about the issue. The Pope (I know, I know -- his views are only of interest to Catholics) has recently published his view of the matter, and it's at least worth considering how he approaches the problem. He makes a distinction between the body (which he concedes may have evolved) and the spirit, which is from God. He also speaks about the need to keep religion in sync with the discoveries of science. (He mentions the problem the church had in the early 1600s with Galileo and the solar system, and it seems he doesn't want to get into another squabble like that one.) Anyway, just read it over -- it probably needs to be read more than once -- and think about it:
