Is it normal to be scared to change my view on evolution in science?

Evolution and Creationism don't have to be exclusive.

When I read Genesis, I see the metaphor of evolution.

We rose from the soil of Earth through changes among primordial chemicals, which later formed simple organisms, creating dna that could adapt to our constantly changing environment...forcing life to become more complex with time. What's a "day" to God? Within the perspective of eternity, is it a billion years? Before the creation of the solar system, there were no such things as "days."

God breathed life into us and we became aware of ourselves...giving birth to music and art, and the ability to communicate through abstract thought...

...but most of all, we love; which by the Book's literal interpretation, defines God...who created us in His image.

That's what I see when I read Genesis...but that's me.

You don't need peer review and multi billion dollar labs to observe evolution. Buy a loaf of nice, fresh bread. Make a sandwich, or maybe some toast. When you're down to the last slice, soak it in water and leave it somewhere to get all nasty for a fed days. Fish it out, scrape the horror into a little dish, and stare at it under a microscope for a fed hours. You'll see it start to change. It's not as fun as staring at fractals or getting laid, but it's better than reality TV shows.

You'll find that most paranoid aversions to science are a product of knee-jerk reactions by self-described "authorities" who don't really care about good and evil, right and wrong, or fact and fiction; merely about making sure whatever the people believe, they all believe the same.

Evolution is very obviously correct.
I do think its possible however that humans were made by aliens splicing their dna with apes.
Anyone who thinks the earth is 6000 years old is not very smart and does not have much ability to think for themselves.
Whether or not there is a God the Earth is still not 6000 years old and we did not pop out of nowhere with everything made the way it is now. It took billions, if not more, years to get where we are.
All religious texts are not literal and have been changed several times throughout the years just like the phone game in kindergarten.

Well it's different for me. I've read up all sorts of stuff on different cultures beliefs, some cults and other things, I learned my fair share you could say, everyone tells me I'm wrong, looking at the history of religion yet I can't abandon my faith because Jesus was the name I called for in my time of need and there he was for me. I had never been in such awe, the things I felt, the love I felt for other people I NEVER felt before. He made me whole again. That's what I see in the Bible, redemption, love, forgiveness, all the things this world desperately needs. Everything I've ever encountered with God has paralleled with what I've read in new testament long after I stopped reading. If I can go from barely being able to love myself or my family, to being able to love a perfect stranger, then this is not something I plan to ever leave.

That being said. I don't know where you stand. If you have never experienced God in your life but have just had the Bible shoved in your face, of course you won't have a relationship with him, it's no wonder you are where you are. it's up to you, but I would give him one more chance before you make this decision.

I've looked into it. Its not a widely accepted theory on evolution. I'm Christian and I think evolution is a pretty reasonable take on it, not that I believe it 100% myself but the thing you're talking about it is spiritual and new-agey and at this point I bet I could come by and send you something else equally as deceptive but completely different and then you'd believe that instead.

Personally if you have any belief left in God I would give him the opportunity to show you otherwise and to have faith in him. And don't do it for your family, do it for yourself.

There is info about this ALL over the internet and in many peer reviewed sources.

Evolution is a FARCE! Look up the evidences for the fact the theory of evolution is fake :)

Evolution peoples I aced it :)

Tell your cultist family that god is fake as their brain and that you can read what ever the fuck you want. If they light candles every night and praise by holding their hands... Ok, but that doesn't give them the right to turn you into a sick lunatic sack of flesh like themselves. Nothing in offense.

This is why I hate religion so much, it turns people into bunch of simple minded cunts.

I really cannot believe there are rational, intelligent people on this planet that can believe in creation. It has been proven beyond a doubt by science that the world has existed far longer than creation allows for.
It is a fact, I repeat; it is a fact that we are descended from the apes; their DNA is only a few points different from our own.
The crap you were fed growing up is all lies. Few if any religious people on this planet are anything more than total hypocrites; spouting one thing in church and then doing exactly as they damn well please once they are out the door.
I am so glad you are beginning to doubt the teachings that have crippled your mind growing up and I wish you well, waking up to the reality that we were not made in god's image or any other; we are a genetic mutation.

I think it's normal to be afraid of changing something that you have always believed in. But you need to find what's true for you and not what someone else has forced onto you. And even if you wanted to go back, could you even do so now that you have found something that makes so much more sense?

I'm confused about the whole reformatting thing. I just accept certain things, I believe all religions or most, have some hand in truth, but ultimately don't add up. But I choose to accept what has been revealed as truth. Like whenever I feel something like lust, and not love, I can literally feel it in my stomach first exactly where the sex chakra is located, go figure. This before I even knew where it was too. I didn't need to change my faith because someone else had something truthful to say, but I know where my root beliefs and if anyone or anything tries to flip them, or interpret them in a way that hasn't been taught to me in spirit and life already, they can't forget it. I hope you find true peace.
