What you say, is true for millions...its an either or proposition...its either Christianity, or evolution...that one must exclude the other...for millions of others, it is not like that...they say they are Christians, and also say they support evolution...for them, it is not an either or proposition...they see no conflict at all...people are all over the place on this...I dont think that there is one general consensus...

You are correct in saying that there are people who believe in both Christianity and macro-evolution. There are some on this thread, and I know some personally among my friends. I have a Catholic friend who believes man evolved from goo in the ground, but that it was all part of the process God used to create everything. My problem with that is that the Catholic church, and many other Christian denominations, believes in the doctrine of “original sin,” i.e. that Adam’s disobedience in the Garden of Evil forever cast all humans born in sin. Jesus came to this world as the only way to salvation from that original sin. Thus, if the Adam and Eve story is repudiated by evolution, as it certainly is in my view, the notion of “original sin” goes out the window, along with the need for a Savior.
