    Can Understanding Evolution Strengthen Christian Faith?

    Can Understanding Evolution Strengthen Christian Faith? No. The exact opposite is more likely. Any intelligent Christian, who understands how evolution works, understands the evidence, and understands the basic facts of evolution, would probably grow up and throw out the stupidity of the Christian death cult. One important fact of evolution is the human race is one of the modern Great Ape species, occupying just a small twig on the vast tree of life. If a Christian really understands evolution, he knows Jeebus was just an ape. Why worship an ape? It's insane and childish.

    He is deceiving himself

    Many Christians who accept the theory of evolution do so at least partly because they don't want people to think poorly about religion . They don't want people to say, "See, another religious nut hates all of science . Therefore, religion sucks." Ironically, then, these Christians believe in the theory of evolution partly for religious reasons. I used to be one of them until I started caring more about evidence than being liked.
