I was much too fascinated with evolution (well not evolution itself because it is rather boring, but the prehistoric evidence of such a process) for it to ever affect my faith. Also being into that before being into faith may have had a lack of affect on my beliefs (unless you think all Christians should be Fundies).
edit: I guess it probably did have an affect as I am much more open-minded on secular issues (especially science) than the stereotypical Christians I hear people whine about but whom I have never met...seriously, where exactly are they? I did not meet them in the northern South/mid-Atlantic (same thing almost) or Alabama/Florida, did not see them in New England, did not see them in the Southwest, did not see them in the Old Northwest (Illinois and Ohio)....I have not been the to Pacific Northwest or other areas of the Mid-West, do they live there?

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
