Do Christians believe in evolution?

Christians believe the creation of GOD and evolutionists don't believe God, they accept the theory of Darwin. Actually, Christians do NOT believe in evolution. They believe that God created the Earth and everything in it, including man, which thus makes them NOT believe in evolution. You can't be a Christian and believe in evolution. People who say they are Christians but believe in evolution and not true Christians if they won't accept that God created the world and everything in. Most Christian are Liberal or Combanation Christians so do not take the Creation stories as being the way it happen just that God created the world and everything in it and the humans have a special place in creation, however can believe that evolution is the way God did it as well as the Big Bang. Also when the creation stories in Genesis were written people did not have an understanding of science and so could not understand evolution even if it was explained to them as they had no scientific understanding so a way had to be given to them to explain the most important things about Creation God did it and humans have a special place. This is why it is the way it is and God does have a guiding hand in evolution but evolution does happen the Catholic Church says you can believe in evolution but warns people not to abuse evolution to do evil like the Nazis did. Proper Christians don't believe evolution. evolution is the process of a DNA strand adding genetic information to better suit an environment However some Christians such as me believe in the process natural selection which excludes evolution. natural selection has it that in the beginning there were only several species of each animal, and then the different species mate they produce different sorts of offsprings depending on their genetic material. thus the explanation as to how every kind of animal could have one day boarded Noahs ark without causing it to explode. Some modem Christians do now believe in evolution. Perhaps the "6 days" the earth was made in was over thousands of years, and it was Gods happening along with the rest of science. It's unfair to say you are not a true Christian if you believe evolution. Creationists on the other hand are trying to bend the bible around science to suit. Which may not be correct to interprete the bible in that sense as this wasent writen to abide by the laws of science.

Do you have to reject evolution to be a Christian?

I am not a Christian myself, but I don't think so. It is my understanding that some Christian groups (denominations) reject evolution, others not. While evolution is not supported in the Bible, it is more a matter of belief as it is not considered a sin to believe in evolution.Another Answer:IMO, yes you must as evolution teaches that God did not Create all as His Word the Bible tells us He did. Is God a liar? I don't think so. Is there any truth in evolution - perhaps on a micro-level but definitely no proofs on the macro-level even after all these years. Creation requires a Creator and Laws like 'biogenises, thermodynamics' cannot be said to be wrong and evolution only right. Laws require a lawgiver.No. Quite a few Christians believe in evolution. Though the Bible says God created the world, it is what we should believe and as Christians many of us do. But some find it difficult to accept this. It does not mean you are not a Christian. Also, many Christians believe in Macro-evolution. Which is like when tadpoles evolve into frogs.
