Can Christians believe in evolution? [Spirituality & Religion]

@TopCat I laugh every time I see that. A scientific theory is the most complete, consistent explanation of the empirical evidence. Saying evolution is "just a theory" is like saying the Koh-i-Noor diamond is just a lump of carbon.

@Sharon but it is a lump of carbon, a very dense pretty lump of carbon.

I'm guessing you're a scientist by your reply?

@TopCat So is a piece of charcoal but would you use the Koh-i-Noor as barbecue fuel?

Yes, I'm a physicist.

@Sharon no coz it wouldn't burn...

Thought so

@TopCat Diamonds will burn but they don't make very good barbecue fuel. My point however is that someone who had just spent a few thousand on diamond jewellery would not tend to think of it as "just a bit of carbon".

@Sharon only if you're BBQ ran at 800℃. If yours does I would like to be at the next one you host. Ok, but that has no relevance to to the question that was asked and regardless of how they think of it, it is a lump carbon
