I’d like to take an opportunity to interrupt this Scripture and Science class. We’ve just done three episodes on evolution. The first one covered the basics of what evolution is. Our second teaching evolution covered biblical problems and the third surveyed some scientific problems. Then Will interviewed Sam about his beliefs in both Christianity and evolution. I figured we’d just leave it there and move on to hear what Will had to say about geology. But after seeing various comments coming in, I decided it would be good to interject some of my own thoughts both defending my reasons for honestly engaging with evolution as well as my reasons for still not believing in it.
My reasons:

Lack of evidence for evolution
Problem of first life
Mutations as an inadequate mechanism
Humans ill-adapted for survival
Allegorical readings of Genesis are ad hoc
Evolution undermines the Fall
