Is it not possible to believe in evolution and be a Christian?
After all the story of Adam and Eve is Old Testament......I never believed it to be a fact...and really don't know anyone who does believe that this was how we all came into being
The Christian religion bases itself on the teachings of Jesus Christ.....which is why it is called Christianity.
You can either believe it or not believe it. If you believe it you are hurting no one, and may gain comfort from having a faith......if you do not believe it then you are hurting no one.
Faith is believing what you cannot see....trusting.
If that is not what you need in your life then fine.....let those who do believe get on with it.
This is a non-story. Something that the local press like to blow out of all proportion.....and daft local politicians get sucked into the media circus by dignifying the thing with unnecessary comment. It just raises their profile and perhaps makes them feel important.
