Christianity and evolution are not incompatible unless you are intellectually challenged.

Believe what you want sweety. By evidence, facts, and common sense we believe one thing and by faith, experience and encounters we believe something else. I personally do not believe in evolution. You can give me all the facts and evidence that you can muster and I won't believe it because I have my own convictions on what is right and true. The only thing I do not understand is why evolution is still considered a theory if it's so true. It will remain a theory because there are too many flaws in it and the facts are too far fetched. Yes you can study evolution and come to your own conclusions but you can't study God because He is not made of material. So go right ahead you can believe evolution..but you can not disbelieve God because He has never been studied.

Evolution is backed up by all the evidence and all the sciences. The Creation story in Genesis is only a story and may even have been originally intended as such. However not all Christians deny evolution, and it is only in the USA that a significant proportion do.

Frozen Freebird, tssk tssk.. do you give thumbs down to people who answer your question in a way in which you do not agree? What a poor sport you are.
Evolution isn't vs Christianity. Evolution is a scientific theory. Christianity is a religion.
Of course the empirical evidence in favor of evolution is more reliable that an old book of myths and folklore.

Creation, no doubt. The problem we have nowadays is that while religion cannot be taught in schools, evolution is. And as with any other subject you only see one side of it which is the side trying to prove it is real. Of course, religion cannot be taught in school so we are basically teaching or brainwashing our kids into believing there is no God. It's shameful and just more proof of how ignorant and unholy people have become as a whole.

Well first, I believe that evolution is the closest to the mark, might not be 100% (since how can we be 100% sure on something we can never see?) but it makes a lot more since than Creationism (at least to me) Also, it is not evolution vs. Christianity, it is evolution vs. Creationism...but you got it pretty close...Evolution is more reliable because it has science to back it up, and all Creationism has to back it up is some book and peoples speculation...at least in my opinion.

I know evolution is a scientific fact and theory that has literally a mountain of evidence. Christianity has no evidence.

Jesus believed in creation over evolution. That's good enough for me. Mark 10:6
"But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female."
He believed Moses' writings. (Luke 24:27)

Not sure I understand the question.
Are you asking if evolution exists?
Professionally breeding cats and dogs is evolution.
If you're asking if humankind evolved from monkeys, I couldn't say. But consider this.
A couple decades ago, a team of scientists constructed a biodome which demonstrated what they thought Earth was like before life began here. Then they fired arcs of electricity (lightning) through this simulated environment and the bi product was amino acids: the building blocks of protein. Life.

Where in your Holy book, the bible, can you give me a reference that gives implication to the saying "Evolution vs. Christianity?"

a clear majority of christians accept the theory of evolution. belief in an instantaneous creation is confined to a tiny number of fundamentalist churches mainly in the american south.
if one deny the notion of evolution then the fossil record is a lie: a trick set up by God to deliberately mislead us.
personally i don't think God is a liar.
