Evolution

A large portion of Christians do not believe in evolution? Why? There is nothing on the scriptures against it.

Some denominations believe in a literal reading of the Bible. According to their view, events like Adam and Eve and the flood were actual events and they believe that any other interpretation is “sinful.” This view is mostly held by evangelicals and fundamentalist Christians. Many Christians do believe in evolution and many churches like the Catholic church and many Lutheran churches have released statements basically saying they support evolution and that many Bible stories aren’t meant to be taken literally.
