i believe we are Gods creations...and that doesnt conflict with the possibility of evolution. |
Its very hard to argue a point when Christians don't seem to believe the Bible anymore.
The Bible says that man was created as a special being—in the image of God, as opposed to the evolutionary view that has man is just another animal in the evolutionary process. (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7)

It's very hard to argue a point when someone wants an issue to be either black or white. What don't you understand about not taking the bible literally? It shouldn't be a new concept to you.
...and portions of the bible are always being debated about among christians - whether due to mistranslation over time, the open interpretation wording, etc.

I understand that its not black and White. But, im not sure when the Bible turned from a literal meaning to a symbolic one.
Also OT: If 90% of Christians believe in Evolution then why hasn't it being taught a long time ago.
Im talking about the basics of it, not natural selection etc.

Never.
The literal meaning of the bible is actually the newer intererpriation.
This was the case even before the bible even existed as there were numerous different christian texts that were made to illustrate points. For example the stories of jesus when he was a kid.
The only Christian scripts seen as literal to my knowledge are the four main gospels.
Although it should be noted that the bible is inetrestingly a great source of history....
Lots of things historians and scientisists said never existed ended up actually existing later proved by archaelogical digs.
