Given that God created Adam and Eve, how do you explain the existence of human races?
There are forces that act on all things. These forces also act on living things. The process of reacting to these forces to descendants is called ''evolution''.
Evolution has nothing to do with how life began. There are 6 mechanisms of evolution and we may debate the effectiveness of each one, e.g., natural selection. However, evolution is a fact of reality and is unstoppable so long as life exists. Evolution is not at odds with Christianity and it is too bad many Christians do not understand that. Peter
As humans are capable of believing two or more contradictory things, it entirely possible (and quite common) for someone who is truly a Christian to have a wrong view about parts of the Bible, including the parts that contradict [[evolution]]. So believing in evolution does not mean that you are not truly a Christian, even though you believe something quite anti-biblical. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.
