As a Christian/ creationist would you find it easier to accept evolution if it didn’t include humans

Then you can continue to believe god made you special.

Back in the day when I was a Christian, I pissed off my fellow God botherers by believing in evolution as a guided process. That is to say, I took the six days of creation as metaphorical, and in particular, the sculpting of Adam I considered to be a metaphor for the evolution of humans.

Since then, of course, I've come to realize that there's a whole lot of stuff that makes no sense if you assume it was done by an intelligence.
@LordShadowfire That’s how I looked at it as well. I always saw the Bible as metaphorical, there was too much described that wasn’t physically possible for it to be literal.

@LordShadowfire Or it was done deliberately but as a practical joke (which is surely the reason for the location and general appearance of testicles, for a start)

@Persephonee Suppose testicles were located in the males' skulls. How long do you think it would take for the sperm to be released through the penis?
