It is possible to believe in evolution and be Christian

You say "Evolution as an explanation of the diversity of animals" Merriam-Webster Diversity: the quality or state of being composed of many different elements or types Merriam-Webster Synonyms, Types: type, kind, sort, nature, description, character mean a number of individuals thought of as a group because of a common quality or qualities. -So, Webster dictionary says diversity mean Type/Kind, there is not scientific proof of a change in Type of organisms"Bacteria mutates into more Bacteria, dog's don't mutate into cats. While micro evolution does happen, no evidence I've seen supports change in type You said, "a teacher of mine (religious teacher) said that Charles Darwin's theory included the theory about the creation of life on Earth which is actually a more recent theory." Give me a source, for this position! Darwin's general theory PRESUMES THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIFE FROM NON-LIFE and stresses a purely naturalistic (undirected) "descent with modification" [1] "It isn't about the evolution from cells." Yes, cells mutate or hybridize, but they don't create a new genus. "This is because the evidence for evolution is outstanding. It is not so much assumption as it is a very well educated, very well researched idea." -I gave you several cited sources that listed the assumptions that had to be made in order for the most commonly used definition of Evolution Theory. -There are Hypothesis, Theory's, Law's -We call those ideas, assumptions, fact's" Prof John Wilkins says, "And so far, as evolutionary conceptions go, we simply have no direct access to the evidence we need in the case of extinct and even extant species. It might be true that species have distinct fates, but often we do not know. Evolution is a gradual process at genetic and behavioral scales (but it can be abrupt at geological and ecological scales), and so we will see species in all kinds of stages of speciation, extinction, interbreeding compatibility, and so on." [2] Based on John Wilkins admission of "we simply have no direct access to the evidence we need in the case of extinct and even extant species." If you don't have the evidence, you have to do what in place of it? Assume, make and assumption that X takes place in order for theory Y to be true.

Especially if you can't defend your position. So, as many do, they start to tell themselves, "well, I can support that idea" or "well, I could see where that might be true" and so on. We start to convince ourselves that it's okay to change my mind on where the bible says there was giant flood, or where there was just one man and one woman, or well there may not be a hell. Here my point read this article https://ncse.com... The author, start talking about what a creation scientist will accept and won't except. He talks about chromosomes and gene, and if they accept this, they'll accept that. Right towards the end, he talks about how this animal and this other animal is so genetically similar, and while there has never been a known "hybridization" of the two species, creation scientist would accept that these two species came from the same Genus of animal. They he reveals his hand, it's the chimpanzee and a human. Then he goes on to call creation scientists hypocrites and won't accept the truth because of what the bibles. The point is, you have to be steadfast in your faith, if you don't understand. Study about it, seek to understand what God has defined. It's not about atheism, it's about knowing what God has put forth and being able to defend his world. Because if there is something no true in the bible, then there is no bible. (Now, for you non-Christians thinking "well this verse says this and that can't be true, and you said that meant that there was not God." There is figurative language and not all passages are to be taken literally. "It is possible to believe God used evolution as a tool" -I'm not saying all aspects of evolution are false, no some aspects of evolution are absolutely true. But most mainstream evolutionist believe and contend that divergents of species all have a common ancestor. Not true! "It doesn't take more faith to believe in evolution than in God"Evolution is not a religion. By your definition..." -I did not use my definition, please see here at https://www.thefreedictionary.com... definition b oA particular variety of such belief: Evolution requires a variety of beliefs oespecially when organized into a system: Evolution is an organized system of beliefs odoctrine: It is doctrine which is a principle, policy, a rule. oand practice: Do not people study it, what does an evolutionist do? -Author Peter Hawkins states "much more faith is required to believe the theory of evolution, which depends on random chemicals reacting by chance to produce the incredibly complex chemical systems in all life, from single-celled creatures to the enormously intricate human body" [3] "God didn't create dinosaurs and they don't exist"" - Partially true, some bible scholars believe Behemoth: Job 40 & Leviathan: Job 41 may have believe this maybe referring to dinosaurs, and yes we know God created dinosaurs, because of the evidence that they were here. There are sever animals mentioned in the bible that are extinct today and they are not mythical beast. o Behemoths, Cockatrices, Dragons, Leviathans, Phoenix Bird, Satyrs, Unicorns, read more at https://bible.org... "Since it never mentions in the Bible that cyberbullying is wrong. God doesn't have to tell us everything in the Bible for it to be true." -Well, that's not quite true, the bible does not explicitly tell us everything, but it does implicitly tell us. If the bible named everything, it would be larger than the library of Congress. However, the bible teaches us with precepts (principles), examples and inferences. - Example: I can tell you that cyberbullying is wrong because it does not meet the precepts outlined in 1 Corinthians 13.1-8, referred to sometimes as the chapter of love. So, to cyberbully someone, is to be unloving. Therefore, I can't do it. Theory vs Faith vs Truth: For comparison, the National Academy of Sciences defines a fact as "an observation that has been repeatedly confirmed and for all practical purposes is accepted as 'true'." It notes, however, that "truth in science ... is never final, and what is accepted as a fact today may be modified or even discarded tomorrow." See, what they claim to be true today, might not be called true tomorrow. This is where creationist and evolutions sometimes have difficulty understanding each other. A creationist would say that "a truth is irrefutable." and that Darwin's concept of evolution is theory and always will be because it does not conform to the scientific method. Evolutionist also say a creationist's hypothesis is not subject to the possibility of empirical falsification, and does not belong in the realm of science. (That's bull) Dr Sean D. Pittman says, "Obviously then, without access to absolute knowledge, a degree of faith remains when one holds a particular position to be true - be it a "religious" or a "scientific" position.""" A theory is therefore a faith and a faith is therefore a theory." [4] [1] https://www.darwins-theory-of-evolution.com... [2] https://ncse.com...
