Are you fucking serious?!
Evolution is the entire basis of about a dozen fields in biology, and the biological sciences in general.
It is one of the best-understood and most-tested/confirmed theories in all of science, including gravity.
You need to pause and do a serious check of your motivations.
I'll put it to you this way: approximately half of working biological scientists are Christians. All of them accept evolution as the fundamental basis of what we know about life on this planet.
The organizations that claim "lots of scientists don't believe in evolution" are lying.
And I can prove it:
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
