Yes, it is possible. It is no longer possible to believe literally in the Genesis creation accounts, but they can still be accepted for their religious and symbolic meaning. In fact, attempting to maintain literal belief in the Genesis creation accounts could arguably be considered an exercise in self-delusion.

Yes, it is possible to believe in theistic evolution and still adhere to The Bible. Theistic evolution is the belief that evolution is the process by which God created life. Many people reconcile this with their faith by interpreting the creation story in the Bible as metaphorical rather than literal. This allows them to see scientific explanations like evolution as compatible with their religious beliefs.

What evolution is a compromise between the Bible and evolutionary science?
A:A compromise is sometimes described as an agreement by which neither side can be really happy. So it is with so-called 'theistic evolution', an attempted compromise that allows Christians to believe that God still had a role in creation as he guided evolution down its path, at the same time as they can accept that the science of evolution is proven. Many Christians remain unconvinced by this compromise because it means giving up long-held, cherished beliefs that God created every living thing just as we see it now, just 6000 years ago.Research scientists can not agree with the compromise because it leaves no room for natural selection, known to be the major driving force behind evolution.

That is somewhat of an over-generalization, because many Americans do believe in Darwin's theory of evolution, but there are certainly a great many who don't. Evotution is seen by some people as competing with the bible. The bible says that God created life (apparently by magic) and evolution describes a different way that life could have come into existence without requiring divine intervention. Fundamentalist Americans prefer the bible to science.

What is evolution and the Christian type of evolution?
Everything has to do with God for them, so everything the Bible says goes, even though it's totally ridiculous.Another viewFor Christians who believe in evolution, it was God who started the process. They believe pretty much what other evolutionists believe, but they don't see creation and evolution as incompatible or opposites. They may compromise some of the things in the Bible to fit their view. For instance, they would take the 6 days of creation as a metaphor for 6 million years rather than 6 literal days. They believe that it was God who sparked the Big Bang and set up the process of evolution as the means of creating the universe.
God created evolution?
The Bible’s answer No.The Bible clearly states that God created humans as well as different “kinds “ of animal and plant life.(Genesis 1:12,21,25,27; Revelation 4:11) It says that the entire human family descended from Adam and Eve ,our first parents.(Genesis 3:20;4:1) The Bible account does not support the theory that God used evolution to bring about the different kinds of life,sometimes called theistic evolution. The fact is,though,that nothing in the Bible conflicts with scientific observations that variations occur within each kind of life.
