Evolution and the interpretation of Scripture

Christians agree on the fundamentals of the Faith such as God being the creator and sustainer of the universe, humans messing things up by deciding not to follow the manufacture's instructions but God choosing to rescue us by (strangely) becoming fully human and then dying as a sacrifice for us on a Roman cross and offering the life he always intended for us and the universe through our trusting our lives to him.

However we also disagree on a number of things, often because of differences in how we interpret the Bible. One such area is HOW did God create the universe and particularly how did he create humans. The following links should give you an introduction to the views held and why different Christians can hold different views whilst worshipping the same God:
