Hello!
I have a question and I would appreciate the input of the good people of this fine internet community!
My question is, is evolution compatible with a belief in Christianity?
So for some background to my research on this, I understand there is strict creationism (Genesis is literal), then there is the position that it is just a story, and that life evolved through theistic evolution. It's even said that Genesis creation was never to be taken at least fully literally.
So here is my thing, if evolution is true, why did Paul say,
'For Adam was first formed, then Eve.' 1 Tim 2:13.
It is clear that Paul believed in a literal creation of Adam, then Eve.
So if Paul is making it clear that it is not a story, but it's true, how can theistic evolution be reconciled as a genuine Christian belief?
