I think it's funny that every time a person holds a belief that is a modification of Christianity, most Christians tell you "you are confused". Guess what people... God did not create different denominations of Christianity on the 7th day as you may have led yourself to believe. Humans created the different denominations by MODIFYING Christian beliefs.
PEOPLE!! God is almighty right? Why must the laws of physics and nature be contrary to a belief in God? I'll tell you why-It's because that's what you've been fed all your life, so you take it with a grain of salt! If God is almighty, could he not have simply CAUSED evolution? Could God's creation of Adam from dirt not be a metaphor of him being made up of something more simple than himself (i.e. simpler life forms)?

First, I feel I need to say that Jesus is my Savior and I will see Him in Heaven.
Now, about evolution. All that means is that something has evolved. I truly believe that evolution is a fact. Did we, mankind, come from an ape? No, I don't think so, but I believe that present man evolved to our present state. I think that it is very possible that Moses and the people of his time were Neanderthal man. Remember that Neanderthal man was simply a thick skulled man. The reason I be live this is because God provides what we need and when wondering around in the desert for any length of time, one would need something to protect their eyes from the sun and the sand.
About reincarnation, until we get to Heaven, we will never know. I doubt it, but just because it is not accepted by the majority does not make it not true. Remember, Jesus was not believe to be the Messiah (still not in some religions), but that did not make him not the Messiah.
There is nothing wrong with having a mind open to the possibility. I would suggest praying to God for clarification on this subject. I know from personal experience that God can reveal things to you. Just keep in mind that the revelations are not always pleasant or what you want to hear.
To Princess: It is impossible to see God. Does that make Him not so? I think not. ALL things are possible with God - even evolution and reincarnation.

The flack you catch is because you don't have true beliefs. You follow what feels good at the time. all is good. Right????
Wrong.
You can't claim all because they don't support each other.
Creation can explain evolution but evolution can't explain creation.
Reincarnation means you, yourself are god and nothing else is and only you can make yourself good. False.
I was born a sinner, only am I saved by Grace, not by the works of my own hands that I might boast.
That in no way means I am prefect (not hardly) just forgiven and changed.

Probably because of the reincarnation thing. That is not a part of the Bible or the teaching of Christ.
I don't believe in evolution, but a lot of people do and that doesn't necessarily make them "non-christian" however.

I think it is impossible to believe in God and Evolution at the same time. Cause evolution is definitly not from God.

You should add Flying Spaghetti Monsterism to your beliefs! It will help develop responses for your flack-giving Christian friends.

I believe in questions that can be answered.
But I have no disrespect with your beliefs. The world is a big place. A lot of people believe a lot of different things. Who am ı to say you're right or wrong?

What is the basis and foundation of your belief. If you have none other than its just how you feel, than what makes your feelings right over the billions of other souls on the earth.
Better put away the feelings and find some facts unless you like gambling with your immortal soul

It shouldn't. Evolution is a fact up to a certain point. Creation is also a fact that works harmoniously with some parts of Evolution.
G-- is a fact

No flack here, but I will say that being those things make you an incredibly unique person. I doubt there are very many creation-evolutionistic reincarnationists.
