Christians can definitely believe in evolution and still be Christian. Salvation is determined by ones acceptance of the completed work of Jesus Christ, not on what you believe about evolution. I believe they are wrong, but no less Christian.
A lot of Christians are also in the same place I was at one time, taught evolution in science classes as established fact that no one dared question. There were no intellectually honest presentations of facts on the other side of the arguement. I had to find these out through reading and research of my own. When you are young and impressionable in college, and getting into grad school is dependent on your regurgitating what you are taught in the classroom, unfortunately you learn not to ask too many questions.
Its late and I'm running on, but yes, both evolution and creationism are religious viewpoints with scientific evidence on both sides. Thank you for the civil tone of your debate, it is sorely missing here on most threads!
Thank you. Bless you. I'm exhausted, too. I try to stay polite, but Lord knows I lose my temper just like anyone else.
There is no scientific evidence for creationism.
And you claimed a biology background, shame on you.
