Conflicts between Christianity and evolution

Answer 1

Well there is not any conflict in terms of war (at least not anymore). But some people in Christianity, like all widespread religions, bend the faith to their means.

Examples include the KKK, which is christian based and has bended a message of love to one of hatred.

One thing about Christians is that they tend to impose themselves on others, this has been going on throughout their history and the effects (are they bad/good) are up to opinion.

Overall I would say that Chistians are ad-versed to those who are atheists, or believe in evolution (niether of which are directly related) and tend to reject of bend new scientific discoveries as they see fit to support their religion.

However though, I would say the Christianity is not in conflict with anyone and is continuing to spread a message of peace and love, at least in their way.

Answer 2

Some sects of Christianity see evolution as a complete contradiction of their beliefs, for example the Genesis account of all creatures being created at the same time where evolution describes a process of gradual developement in a natural setting.

Answer 3

Each person should think this through for themselves - but, in my view, there is no need for a conflict. It is only recently in Europe that the idea that Scripture is infallibly correct in every way has been promulgated and believed. In fact, Jewish Qabalists, at the latest in 1200 c.e. (but probably a lot earlier), examined the instruction that the Torah must be copied exactly as it is, without even the tiniest difference. They did not conclude from that, that it must be error-free, or absolute truth; rather (as it was apparent that it is full of grammatical errors and self-contradictory assertions) that it must conceal a deeper level of truth hidden inside, and the 'errors' were the primary clues to cracking the code. As a result, and on the amazing truths they found encoded, they came to the conclusion that the world came into existence over an immense period, and that its occupants evolved, rather than appearing fully-formed.
