We and all life evolved. To accept evolution as true and believing in/worshipping the Holy Trinity are not mutually exclusive.

Christians believe that God created the world, however you do not have to believe that He did this in 6 days a few thousand years ago.

I believe that we all evolved, but I also believe that somehow God had a hand in the creation of the universe.

If you became a Christian, you would not have to reject everything you've been taught, not at all.

There is no incompatibility between modern science and Christianity, or religion for that matter. Evolution is meant to explain the origin of life, not to show the existence of God fallible.

I don't believe this issue is so essential that either by rejecting or accepting evolution we would disclaim Christianity.

Hey, I'd like to know what your views are on this? I was taught in school and pretty much accepted it, to worshiped God would I have to reject everything I've been taught about it? Or did God make evolution happen?

Their is not a passage in the bible that tells us how old the earth is. Why can God be the God of the Natural world?

This forum is similiar to Exploring Christianity in the way that ONLY Christians will be allowed to reply. We ask that you respect this, if you wish to reply to someone you can do so by PM. Here is the Statement of Purpose for Struggles by Non-Christians.

Evolution happened. So of course you aren't expected to reject reality.
