If you don't find evolution convincing, it may not be Christ that lit your bulb. It may be flames from a different place. ;-)

I did find evolution "convincing" BEFORE I meet Christ.
I don't know a single genuine believer in Christ who accepts evolution.

The author of evolution sure didn't.

What did Charles Darwin himself believe about the role of God in evolution? Darwin expert Neal Gillespie, in his book CHARLES DARWIN AND THE PROBLEM OF CREATION (1974, p. 141), said that "Darwin clearly rejected Christianity and virtually all conventional arguments in defense of the existence of God and human immortality."

In his own autobiography, Darwin admitted that his evolutionary beliefs gradually made the Bible unbelievable to him and said "Thus disbelief crept over me at a very slow rate, but was at last complete. The rate was so slow that I felt no distress, and have never since doubted even for a single second that my conclusion was correct. I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true."
