But, that completely obliterates the belief that God created man in his image, Adam.
I know that sounds probably silly to most, but that is how I was raised.

Well, I'm reluctant to get into such a personal realm. You will have to find a way to reconcile the fact of evolution with whatever beliefs you hold.
True, but I will need to do a lot more study to accept evolution as fact.
