OK, some Christians feel the need to take the Bible literally, and accept the story of creation as absolute fact.
However, other Christians take it as just that: a story.
So why would God put such a story in the Bible? Well, think about it. If you lived in the desert, and the only animals were camels, snakes, etc. (I mean, you have never seen an ape), would you really believe it if somebody came up to you and told you that your ancestors were once animals?
I mean, could it be that God put the story of creation in the Bible just to make it easier for people to believe thousands of years ago? Or maybe God just told His message, and it got lost in translation along the way?
After all, does evolution vs. creation really affect anything about the Christian faith? I mean, if we DID evolve from an early ancestor, does that make Jesus' message any less important? Does that change anything substantial about Christianity, or is it just semantics that we are wasting our time arguing over?
Sure, I accept the scientific findings behind evolution. However, does that make me any less of a Christian? Will I be sent to hell, even though (I thought) I was a good person, and treated everyone the way Jesus taught me to, but I did not believe in evolution?
My point is, why do Christians go so out of there way to try and prove false science (Like saying dinosaurs and humans lived together) to prove their point about Creationism? Doing that just belittles the REAL Christian teachings. Why not just let it go, and worry more about Jesus’ teachings, which have far more impact on the world around us.
