Have you ever read an explanation, or developed your own, of God's special creation of man can be consistent with our evolution from animals?

How is the distinction between man and animal made within the theory of evolution? (How did we get our soul, spirit, reasoning power, etc.)

How does a theistic evolutionist reconcile what is taught in science class and the reality that man is a unique creation possessing soul, spirit and the ability to reason and create, but who sinned, and for whose redemption Jesus died?

I know that those questions would not be addressed in a science class, but how do you personally reconcile the difference in your own thinking?

I cannot see any way to bridge the gap between what evolutionists teach about how man evolved, and the unique creation of man as documented in Scripture.

There is no distinction since evolution does not address the soul. That is religion, not science.

That is because you are limiting your view of God to that which man has taught you. Remember, once the church didn't want the layperson to have a printing press, now we have the internet to open you up to new ideas.
