Evolution and Christianity are perfectly compatible.
Was Jesus lying then, when He said that Adam and Eve were created? In order for Christianity and evolution to be compatible, that would have to be the case.
Matthew 19:4 “Haven’t you read,” he [Jesus] replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
Mark 10:5&6 “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’
Jesus verifies the Genesis account here. God created different groups of animals in separate creation events in that same Genesis account.
For all the variation within species that scientists have found, by their own admission, they still don’t have anything that clearly connects the groups. See post 21 and 76 in this thread alone.
“We do not have any available fossil group which can categorically be claimed to be the ancestor of any other group. We do not have in the fossil record any specific point of divergence of one life form for another, and generally each of the major life groups has retained its fundamental structural and physiological characteristics throughout its life history and has been conservative in habitat.”
