>If death only applied to humans (which I deny but that's neither here nor there) that still makes evolution of humans an impossibility.
And? I believe God made man separately from the animals in His own image. I also think it's possible to be a faithful Christian and believe Adam and Eve were uplifted apes set apart by God, even though I'd disagree. Saint Paul instructs us not to let trivial matters divide brothers, and the exact manner in which mankind was created seems exactly that: literally trivial, as in, a matter of trivia.
>Evolution was specifically made [...] to combat Christianity.
Was it? It absolutely has been used that way, but do you have any actual evidence Darwin specifically crafted his theory to "combat Christianity"? You're mixing up intentions and effects again, like with the age of the universe thing. The adversary will use all available to him to obstruct God's will, even theories crafted without such intentions. Do you know what is in man? Can you read the secrets written on his heart? If you have evidence I'd be happy to hear it.
>We should not embrace or even tolerate lies but combat them with truth. There is no use dulling and watering down our beliefs just to draw in more people.
And you know your interpretation to be true, of course. Were you there when God formed the Earth? Did you see when He stretched out the heavens? Surely you have, since you're so certain. Did you watch from the sidelines as He brought forth the beasts of the earth? Did you cheer as He brought forth plants? Surely you must have, if you're so sure of your position that you would drive brothers away over it.
