Hogwash. If you believe the Adam and Eve creation myth means the world is 6,000 years old, you are welcome to your stubborn belief. It has nothing to do with Christ’s message and my salvation. This belief reminds me of the Apostles throught the bible continually being lovingly chastised by Christ because, having heard the message, continually got it wrong. Interestingly, you are taking the same dogmatic stance the Catholic church took in maintaining the sun revolved around the earth. Time for a reformation in your own minds.

The Catholic Church, and most other Christian churches, still believe and preach “original sin,” and they do so based on their belief that the Adam and Eve creation story is literally true. Curiously, the Catholic Church basically acknowledges that evolution of humans from earlier animals may be true (which strikes me as a contradiction of its position on a literal Adam and Eve), but tries to get around that by saying there was no evolution of “souls,” whatever the heck that means.
Christ’s message, at least according to Paul, was that Jesus came to redeem man for the original sin of Adam. Contrary to what you said, I don’t need a “reformation of my mind.” I submit that you need to realize that evolution debunks Christianity.
