Evolution does not require belief. It only requires education.
Belief in Jesus does require faith.
The two are only mutually exclusive in the minds of those that are uneducated about both.
ALL mainstream Christians have no problem accepting evolution and trusting in Jesus for our salvation.
Most of us understand that Genesis 1 - 11 are ancient allegories, not science textbooks.
Reading literature "literally" STILL requires CORRECT translations of terms, including idioms & symbols, which "creationists" neglect to do.
Genesis refers to the earth bringing forth every creature "after its kind".
Well, how do you define "kind"? Clearly, we can observe millions of different "kinds" of fish, birds, trees, insects, mammals, primates, etc.
All mainstream denominations of Christians & Jews see this as a metaphorical attempt to explain life's great diversity, aka "evolution." The ancient Hebrew nomads (who had no written language for many generations) would not have been able to understand genetics (do you?). The DETAILS were unnecessary to make the POINT that God is behind all life.
"Gods image" certainly refers to the gift of our immortal souls, not our physical bodies. People should not confine God's omnipotent power, to the puny boundaries of our fragile human countenance.
Denying that evolution is PART of creation, is absurd. Especially since it is so well supported by a myriad of scientific fields, especially genetics.
The Bible concerns our COVENANT with God, concerning the salvation of our souls. Evolution poses no conflict with that. Adam & Eve are symbolic characters in an allegory that explains our sinful natures (physical vs. spiritual). They don't have to be REAL people to make that point!
As a metaphorical outline, and when read with the correct Hebrew translations, Genesis poses no conflict with science. While ignoring all the scientific evidence clearly brings unwarranted ridicule to our faith.
As far back as the 4th C. respected theologians & true biblical scholars have been warning Christians NOT to read Genesis at face value, and to be aware of the symbolism and figurative language (see Augustine). Doing otherwise causes people to miss the point. Scripture concerns our SPIRITUAL relationship to God. It was never meant to be read as a science textbook!
Do you believe in gravity? It is also a "theory" that has the overwhelming support of the scientific community, and is backed with a great deal of evidence. Evolution is a factual process - "belief" doesn't even apply.
Simple. Evolution cannot be tested, it's premises cannot be tested and most are proven wrong. More and more the claims of evolution are proven wrong every day. So it takes faith to believe in it.
Believing in Jesus is also a faith. But in a way it can be tested. You can act as a true christian and see if the things He said are true.
Gravity is called a law not a theory. Also Mendel and Boyle had a few laws that rather destroy the possibility of evolution.
The origin of the universe and the origin of life cannot be tested or observed. Both creation and evolution are faith-based systems in regards to origins. Neither can be tested because we cannot go back billions (or thousands) of years to observe the origin of the universe or of life in the universe. Evolutionary scientists reject creation on grounds that would logically force them to also reject evolution as a scientific explanation of origins. Evolution, at least in regard to origins, does not fit the definition of “science” any more than creation does. Evolution is supposedly the only explanation of origins that can be tested; therefore, it is the only theory of origins that can be considered “scientific.” This is foolishness! Scientists who advocate evolution are rejecting a plausible theory of origins without even honestly examining its merits, because it does not fit their illogically narrow definition of “science.”
If creation is true, then there is a Creator to whom we are accountable. Evolution is an enabler for atheism. Evolution gives atheists a basis for explaining how life exists apart from a Creator God. Evolution denies the need for a God to be involved in the universe. Evolution is the “creation theory” for the religion of atheism. According to the Bible, the choice is clear. We can believe the Word of our omnipotent and omniscient God, or we can believe the illogically biased, “scientific” explanations of fools.
it is something that is used when people panic that we can show proof and evidence of evolution and they can't show a single piece of physical evidence of Jesus or god.
It makes since because evolution is incredulous, and it truly would take more faith to believe in evolution than to believing in Jesus. It simply doesn't make since to those who are rational and sound in mind. There is clear evidence why you should believe in Jesus. If you believe in evolution then there is no way that you could believe in Jesus or GOD.

It's not supposed to make sense. It's just supposed to be something religious nutters say to feel like they have a valid point.
it is something that is used when people panic that we can show proof and evidence of evolution and they can't show a single piece of physical evidence of Jesus or god.
That comes from people who have no concept of what credible evidence is.
