No. Evolution is true. God is true.

I don't believe there is any conflict. There is clear evidence that more complex life eveolved from simpler life. God has not left proof that he guided this evolution that we can document sicntifically.

If we teach kids that whatever we don't understand must be God then that just encourages giving up on scientific exploration. What if that had been the attitude in 1800? Think of all the things we didnt understand then.

It's like that now too. If we close off science and use God as a reason to not try to understand we hurt ourselves and I can't believe that God wants that.
