I think the most intellectually honest thing to do is let the science figure out what it can and go from there. I don't think there is anything in Genesis 1 that leads me (and others) to believe it was meant to be taken literal. I do believe God had a hand in creating life. How? I don't know. I was not there and no one that was has shared.
Not taking Genesis 1 literally is not new. Long before evolution was a theory people debated this topic.
OK, thanks.
So you think God created some form of life, and then things evolved from there? Did we evolve from another species in your opinion, or not?
If you're following the science, then the clear answer is yes we did. But I'm really not sure if you accept that answer, or what you think the alternative is.
No, I do not believe that God kicked off life and then evolution happened. I believe at the minimum the process was directed.
I am not sure if we evolved from another specie or not and I do not think the science is clear on that.
