Just go in with an open mind and the drive to learn, and if you don't conform they can't say you don't understand the material.
P.S. I'm not trying to convert anyone to evolutionism, just making the statement that the false dichotomy is false; you can have both evolution and faith, and the statistics clearly demonstrate this.
I don't want to see anyone disregard evolution just because they don't think that evolution and Christianity are compatible, and likewise, I don't want to see anyone who accepts evolution to automatically disregard Christianity just because they don't think they are compatible.
Yes you can have that, question is, is whether God will accept it? You or anyone else can make all the logical rational arguments you want about whether evolution can mix with faith. But unlike evolution that claims there are no absolutes. God has to judge using absolutes. Why?
Since He is a just judge, a line has to be drawn clearly showing right from wrong. Even though our court system varies on that idea. I assure you that God's court will not. God's court will consist of absolute right, and absolute wrong. Which also means there will be absolute sin. No little sin or big sin. Where a person can just skate by on little sins, and only get thrown into hell for big sins.
Do you think that in the sin of murder, that premeditated murderers go to hell, while murderers in the second and third degree go to heaven?
You see if God applies little sin-big sin logic to even one sin, then it has to be applied to all to be just. So when evolution denies God's creation on several levels. And a person stands before God to be judged upon this. Do you not think that an idea that is:
1) Not supported in God's word.
2) Denies the power of God to create.
3) Denies the time-line of the Bible.
4) Denies why Christ had to die for our sin.
5) Denies that God commanded his creation to only reproduce after it's kind 10 times.
6) And is the very opposite of God's creation on every level.
7) Has not bought one soul to Christ.
8) And is the main foundation of atheistic humanism.
etc....
Do you not think God would consider that a sin, in a court geared to determine absolute right and wrong? Because if it cannot lead someone to Christ, the idea is not of the kingdom because it cannot even be used as a kingdom work. And when the works judgment of fire to test purity is put upon evolution. Do you think it will survive?
What would you say if God asked you: Why did you not use the idea of evolution to bring my people into the kingdom? If it cannot save people, then why did you use it to replace what can (creation)?
Creationist use the creation message to bring people to Christ all the time. I have yet to see theistic evolutionist use evolution to do the same. If evolution was the perfect explanation to replace creation, and is the way God created. Then explain why no one gets saved over the evolution message?
I'll tell you why:
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Father God controls the drawing power of salvation unto His Son as stated above. What this means is that what ever draws a person to Christ for salvation first has to be approved of by God. Things that are not, cannot. Why? God does not let deception be apart of a covenant. Either the fruit is pure and true and honors God. Or it's not, which makes God into a liar if He were to allow any deception to have the drawing power unto salvation. Impurity (sin) cannot draw someone to purity (being saved). Why?
As soon as God allows an impure thing to draw people unto salvation, Christ's shed blood becomes tainted and can no longer forgive sin. Just one time, and it's done. That is why God is about absolutes, and evolution is not. For if God allowed evolution to have the drawing power to even draw one person unto true salvation, then salvation becomes as worthless as sin itself. And is no better.
So do you think that impure things can draw a person unto purity (salvation)?
