Come on now! Most kids growing up in a religous home get taught many things, one of them is that Evolution is wrong!

 

I am sure there are some Christians who believe that, but I assure you a majority refuse to!

Hm.. seems like you answered your own question, "some Christians" actually do believe in Evolution.

 

In a Religion with ~2 billion believers (out of which a lot are just too preoccupied with trying to live another day to think deeply about how we came into existance) there are bound to be differences in what the people actualy believe and you seem to have witnessed those who do not accept Evolution (although they had the time and education available to them), that's bound to happen as well.

To conclude from that experience, that the majority of Christians are actually against (to be against sth you must atleast have heard about it) this "theory" or other popular scientific theories is wronging a whole lot of people, which is probably why there are so many responses here, although I expect video game forums to be largly "atheistic" (which in my opinion isn't true either, as not few seem to pick up console manufacturers or certain games as their substitute religion).

Most kids are born and raised in second/third world countries and (as I hinted at earlier) they and their families dont have the leisure time to think about any of these things, so I guess you are coincidentally right with your assumption, that most Christians and most religious people (no matter of which faith) dont believe in any of the pretty well documentated theories scientists came up with, but are they really against them?

 

Now, I have used the word "theories" a lot here to point out, that there are uncertainties to Evolution and even way more so to the "Big bang" and so on and thats GOOD, because uncertainty means that there is room to adjust these (or "evolve" them if you want ;) ) when there are more/new findings. In all Religions (or at least all that I know of) there are only "facts", which is why they are convenient. I don't mind the majority of people "sticking to the facts", if they let room for the people who are into uncertainties.
