Is it because it refutes the idea of Adam and Eve, original sin, and coming of Jesus?
Or are there any other reasons?

God gave us science. He gives us artifacts and the natural evidence that Evolutionary theory is based on. Different people have different explanations for what they see in the way of evidence. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin has a different outlook then Darwin even though they are looking at the same evidence. Teilhard has a different perspective on original sin then the Church based on the information that we now have to work with.Is it because it refutes the idea of Adam and Eve, original sin, and coming of Jesus?

That still doesn't answer my question. I highly doubt millions of people oppose evolution because two men disagreed hundreds of years ago.God gave us science.

Without sin or evil there can be no love and there can be no free will.
As new evidence comes along then science and religion need to re evaluate what they believe. In some cases people are stuck with their traditions and are resistant to change. Look at science. At one time a lot of babys died because the doctors did not wash their hands. When a doctor came along that advocated washing their hands he ended up getting fired for his efforts to try and save lives. So in science and religion they like to cling to their traditions and change is not always easy.That still doesn't answer my question.

My question is: why do some Christiants refuse to accept evolution as a reasonable explanation to our becoming if the data strongly suggests it?
To put it simply, the old testament proposes that the earth and life was made within 6 days, however evolution could NEVER happen in such a small space, it takes millions of years for it to occurThat still doesn't answer my question.

Are you following me? haha.To put it simply, the old testament proposes that the earth and life was made within 6 days, however evolution could NEVER happen in such a small space, it takes millions of years for it to occur
Does that mean that some Christians disagree with Creation because evolution challenges the idea?Christianity isn't opposed to evolution; certain Christians and Christian sects (mostly Protestant, and mostly American) are. Lots of Christians were cautious about evolution, since it requires a reappraisal of our understanding of the origins, history and nature of humanity, and since it raises questions about the origins of sin. Vehement opposition to evolution, however, mostly stems from the fact that it became identified in the U.S. with the Modernist side of the Fundamentalist/Modernist split, and therefore became a marker for belonging to the wrong camp.

But it still has better evidence than creationism, so why roll in the same disapproved idea. To me it is analogous to people believing in the geocentric model when we have sufficient evidence suggesting the heliocentric model.The facts about evolution are fine.
Speculations about origins are not
good science.
No, it means that some Christians don't believe creation was anything like a naive reading of Genesis would suggest. As Dobzhansky put it, "Creation is not an event that happened in 4004 BC; it is a process that began some 10 billion years ago and is still under way."Does that mean that some Christians disagree with Creation because evolution challenges the idea?
See above.And what do you believe?
Yes.Is it because it refutes the idea of Adam and Eve, original sin, and coming of Jesus?

Well, he's not wrong, technically. Semelweiss did have a very hard time convincing other doctors of the importance of washing hands, but it's not as though the scientific community didn't correct the error within a shorter time than any religion I can think of has altered it's holy texts.Wut?
What is your evidence to support this wild claim?
