If Christ's authority is not enough, consider the "transitional forms" that have been discarded in history past. It appears that evolutionary dogma requires careless data presentation in order to survive. I would specifically list Piltdown man and Nebraska man, the latter of which was only the tooth of a pig! Neanderthal man does little for the case of evolution, in light of the fact that there is now evidence that they buried their dead and enjoyed music. This is only beginning to delve into the twists and turns that have been committed in digging up humanity's supposed pre-human past. Creationists have a right to be left wondering just why so much debating is necessary among evolutionists when the evidence is supposedly so clear.
Christ's authority would be fine if i had a reason to think there was such 'authority" or that what he said was accurately recorded.
But put that aside; there is no reason for the reality of deep time and evolution to spoil your religion. Educated christians seldom hold to creationist / fundie beliefs.

There is no such thing as evolutionary dogma, so thats not an argument.
and 'careless data presentation' is just a clumsy false attempt to be insulting.

!
Piltdown was a joke that got out of hand, and has nothing to do with whether evolution is real. "Nebraska man' was a brief bit of enthusiasm over a worn broken tooth, and you or anyone would have a hard time distinguishing such from a humanoid tooth. its not a "pig" tooth, anyway.
I've met the great grandson of the rancher who found "nebraska man"; i suspect i now a good deal more on that thanyou do.

.
So, they were a different type of human. The "music" bit is highly speculative. how any of that argues against evolution is a mystery to me.
Creationists have a right to be left wondering just why so much debating is necessary among evolutionists when the evidence is supposedly so clear.
If a person makes no effort to understand something then they are left to wonder, yes.
It is very abundantly clear that the world is very ancient, and that life forms evolved to their present form over many millions of years.... humans included.
That is not in any way in doubt among educated people.
Where the information is sketchy, on the frontiers of discovery, that is where the debate and discussion takes place. Despite what you think is supposedly what, a lot of
details are not clear at all.
A reasonable analogy would be the history of ww2. We now there was a war, but some details are murky some will never be known. THAT is where the historians work and argue. Maybe there are WW2 deniers who like creationists would try to say the whole thing is nonsense.
But there isnt any doubt that it took place, not among educated people.
