Both theories.
No problem in that.

Evolution is a theory
Christianity is a belief or a religion.
Two different things. And by the way, Christianity is just one religion that follows the idea or belief in a creator. There are quite a few others that believe the same.
You’re looking for intelligent design theory not Christianity. If you’re talking about theories that is. If you’re not then evolution has nothing to do with it. Darwin never claimed he was disproving god, and never tried to say Christ didn't exist. He wrote about biology not religion.

I don't understand why some Christian churches are making some Christians choose between evolution and Christianity. You are making someone choose between something that men with political agendas wrote up (the bible), and something that has been proven over and over as being fact by scientists. In fact, if it wasn't for some literal minded people, there would be NO question that evolution is how it happened. We believe a lot of things with less evidence than evolution!! In my opinion, you can be Christian and believe in evolution and I've talked to Christians who were irritated that the Church made them choose! Why does anyone take Genesis literally anyway!?!?!?!

The various theories of evolution (there are more than one) aren't without their holes. It shows ignorance to say that the debate is over. Coming from a liberal university background, I know of many intellectuals and scientists (professors and students alike) that ascribe to a theory of Intelligent Design. Evolution is still called a theory because it hasn't been proven in a logic proof's sense. I'm not a hick nor a hillbilly by anyone's definition, was raised in a non-religious, intellectual family, through the public school & university systems. There are a number of Creationism theories that vary in how much they try to reconcile the two, some basic divisions being young-earth creationism, old-earth creationism, and theistic evolution. Hopefully you're not trying to decide on "what religion to follow if any" based on your answer to this question, because this issue is more secondary, or of a higher level, to the more fundamental question of God's existence, or even the authenticity and authority of the Bible. I, for one, have come through a long intellectual struggle with this and similar issues, and would vouch more for cases of intelligent design at the least, biblical Judeo-Christian young-earth creationism at the most. Who knows, maybe I'll see something that convinces me otherwise. But in the end, what's true is true, no matter what one small person in the history of the world decides in their limited, human ability, right?
Before you go about carelessly blasting another's case, you ought to research it (and not just what rumors are spread about it), otherwise you'd be arguably ignorant. Some good sources to start with:

properly, it form of feels which you desire a extra powerful know-how of evolution. I propose which you bypass to a public library and prepare your self, because of the fact in spite of training you had did no longer accomplish it. The lack of awareness shown on your questions is profound and extra beneficial than could be corrected here. yet, this is a initiate: the assumption of Evolution has overwhelming and conclusive data. There are a minimum of 11 areas of learn and empirical archives helping the assumption of Evolution. they're: * Paleontology (fossils) * Genetics * Distribution of Animals and plant life * Comparative Anatomy * Embryology * Vestigial Organs * organic determination * Sexual determination * Molecular Biology * undesirable layout * Lab Experiments the assumption of Evolution is the hardship-loose unifying thought of biology. The CEO of the yankee association for the progression of technology, Alan Leshner, wrote, “in spite of the reality that scientists could debate information of the mechanisms of evolution, there is not any argument between scientists to whether evolution is going on.” The national Academy of Sciences, the main prestigious medical business enterprise interior united states of america, has declared evolution “between the main helpful and maximum sensible medical theories we've,” and notes that evolution is supported by utilising an overpowering medical consensus. the assumption of Evolution has as a lot validity because of the fact the assumption of gravity, atomic thought, or the germ thought of ailment. For extra data, see the 1st 3 hyperlinks. the 1st hyperlink has the data that conclusively proves that human beings share straight forward ancestry with the chimps, apes, and orangutans. -

I hope they could just embrace each other *sighs* But I'll go for the evolution theory because there have been real evidences. Not that I'm saying Genesis isn't though.
I might go for the theory of Science but it doesn't change my Faith in the Supreme Being.

Given that evolution is every much a fact as the theory of gravity, and christianity is not actually a theory, just a perversion of older religions... I'll go with the fact, thank you.

Which has proof? Not reports of miracles but actual proof?
Which brings up the question: if something has evidence that proves its existence, is it a theory or a reality?

Christianity if not a theory...it's a religion...and Creationism is a hypothesis.
