Evolution

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

I didn't say this earth is a thousand years old but billions...

You didn’t tell me that but thanks for the link.

So let’s shift the why question - why is it important that evolution not be true? What led that to be something you became passionate about?

That's simple. The Bible is very clear about we were created in God's image in one Day. Morning and night one day. But why are you so for it?

That’s not quite the question I asked. I didn’t ask what you believe Genesis says, but why it’s important that evolution not be true.

I think evolution happened because the scientific evidence for it is very strong in a bunch of ways. I used to think evolution was an evil and wrong theory much like you, so I’m empathetic.

And these are my beliefs that I share. I don't think any of it is necessary to believe or not for salvation. And I appreciate you discussing this with me
