Isn't it a little problematic to believe in the bible AND evolution? [Spirituality & Religion]

I mean, if evolution is true then there was no adam and eve. If there was no adam and eve then there is no fall and if there's no fall there's no savior. Bye bye jésu

Well, when I fell and sold my soul to the devil (true story), I had noticed that all of the clocks in my house had stopped! Every single one of them! So I sat down on my couch, and went into a catatonic state, hearing terrifying screams of hell....I was too scared to think, I mean I wasn't even looking for Jesus when all of a sudden I had a vision of the cross! It was accompanied by a loud cracking noise like that of rocks splitting! CRACK! Then all of a sudden the screams from hell had been silenced! And from that moment on I could smell the most beautiful fragrance the bible calls the fragrance of LIFE! In that moment I was redeemed! From that moment on Christ died to give me LIFE! This is my true experience. It was like I was taken to another time and place in a vision....Notice how all of my clocks had stopped.

@MetalGreymon: All you have to do is to repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near. I'm sorry you feel that way. Now all I can hear are heavenly angels singing in a heavenly choir.

@saintchantal:

Yeah i hear all this stuff about feeling the holy spirit move you or various other feelings of a divine connection.
I've never felt a thing despite my repeated and earnest prayers.

Like i said, lucky you.

@MetalGreymon: I didn't hear or feel a thing for the longest time really....God now speaks to me through his people with a prophetic word all the time, like as if they knew me, and my circumstances and have all of the answers....How I was born again was a preacher said you don't have to be baptized with water to become a true Christian, what you need to do is to sacrifice yourself upon Jehovahs Alter as a living sacrifice...I pondered those words all night, then wrote God a letter and as I laid myself down to give my life over to God which was an act of faith, that's when I felt the holy spirit pour over me and cover me like a blanket of static and while listening to the christian radio as a woman started prophecying to me, like as if she was directly talking to me and addressed each point in my letter as she said if you want to become a true christian stop living a lie! You don't have to be perfect what you need to do is live in love and by faith, all this was said while I was being sealed with the holy spirit and I was born again! My bed was the alter lol! It's really not hard being a true Christian, it's a simple life really, going and sinning no more, and making the odd slip up, but really living in love and by faith, worshiping God and living by trust in the word. That's all there is to it, and now I can hear heaven, everyone can be saved including you, all you have to do is to repent, and ask God to be redeemed and sealed in the spirit, and truly devote your life to him, he will do the rest.

I don't suppose many Christians believe creation took place in 6 24-hour periods. By the same token, they don't have to believe that the story of Adam and Eve is literally the story of the first humans. It has to be read symbolically, as a story of some fundamental wrong choice made by a human community in the course of evolution. Whether such a choice ever literally took place is another matter.

Course thats only true for folks who don't know that the Genesis account was a poem,relating metaphorical truths

@bookerdana:

People gotta be careful what they write lol

The two aren't comparable. The Bible was written before the Scientific Age and deals with origin stories, historical accounts and writings meant to convey ideologies and mores. Evolution is based in the scientific method.

@WhisperingBanshee:

That sounds about right. But of course there are many who take it as more or less historical.
