It is possible to believe in evolution and be Christian

To be a Christian and believe in evolution is completely logical. The theory of evolution does not deny that God created the Earth. As I mentioned earlier, the theory that all of life"s common ancestor was bacteria is a more recent theory that was not Darwin"s theory of evolution. I believe that after creating the original plants and animals, God used evolution as a tool to further diversify our planet. The reason evolution is a theory is because we were not there when it occurred. However, evolution is known as a Big T as opposed to other theories being considered Little Ts. 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. As I mentioned before, I am talking about Darwin"s theory of evolution. Not the more recent theory. Also, you are really generalizing evolutionists and other groups of people. It is not evolutionists that say there is no soul or spirit that is more likely to be nihilists or atheists. There are Christian scientists who believe God used evolution. I feel like people just lump anyone who believes in evolution and anyone who is an atheist together. I also believe that the Big Bang theory was caused by God (you know, he literally said "let there be light") but this has nothing to do with this debate. "Evolution relies on processes that allow increases in organization from the simple to the more complex, from non-life to life, from lower to higher life-forms"" As I already told you, this debate isn't about the origin of life. It isn't about the evolution from cells. No, there is a plan in evolution. I believe it is what God used to create the more diverse, or environmentally-specific animals we see today. Yes, many evolutionists are non-religious, but not all of them! Atheism and evolutionism are not necessarily partners, it happens a lot that way but there are Christian scientists who understand that evolution is not a fact of life we can ignore. To believe in evolution does not mean you don"t believe in God. Like I keep repeating, it is possible to believe God used evolution as a tool. It was His doing. Don"t you think that an all-powerful God can do whatever he wants? I don"t doubt that God created life and I know I will not understand everything he does, but that doesn"t mean evolution didn"t happen. Whether it is the way life was created is DIFFERENT debate. I never mentioned that Darwin believed in God, I know he didn't. He was raised Christian but became atheist later on. It doesn't take more faith to believe in evolution than in God. Otherwise, no one would believe in evolution and no one would be atheist. Evolution is not a religion. By your definition, capitalism and communism are also religions. And so are psychological theories like the Humanistic approach or Behaviorism. Just because it doesn't say directly in the Bible that God used evolution to diversify Earth doesn't mean that it didn't happen. That"s like saying that since in Genesis it never mentions dinosaurs, God didn't create dinosaurs and they don"t exist. Or that since it never mentions in the Bible that cyberbullying is wrong, it is acceptable behavior. As you would probably argue yourself, God doesn"t have to tell us everything in the Bible for it to be true. Or for us to know it is true.
