I believe in God, but I have also believed in evolution ever since I was a young child.
There is no need to have the two at odds with each other. Even the earliest Christians didn't believe in the literal interpretation of Genesis. Even the proto Christians wrote about how Genesis was allegorical. |
How can you believe in both?

Once you accept that bible is mostly (completely?) metaphor, it becomes pretty easy to believe in both god and science.
Science is an exploration and understanding of all the physical laws and properties of the universe. God is the being that authored those physical laws. No interventionism or clay moulding necessary.
I'd say the fundamental laws of physics provide a better "watchmaker" argument than biology ever could. Tweak a single universal constant in one direction or the other and the universe as we know it would unravel rather quickly.

I'm not talking about beleiving in God and Science. I'm talking about believing in God and evolution.

The theory of evolution is a subset of science. It's an idea born of science, tested by science and adopted by science. If you can believe in science and God, you can believe in evolution and God.
