I would like to share the struggle I had trying to align a new-found Christian faith with evolution.
I grew up with a strong interest in science, was saved and born again at 15, before studying science at university for 5 years in the 1980’s. While studying, I was also in my Bible every day, and attending church twice most Sundays with friends. However, I adopted a theistic version of evolution as a result of all my learning, rather than the recent six day creation taught in the Bible. I wanted to trust both God and the “experts”. I reasoned to myself, that I needed to look at Genesis through the context of what my lecturers were teaching as fact. In other words, I was looking at Scripture through the lens of man’s reasoning, which is completely backwards. This led to me doubting the authority of Scripture in other areas.
