The difference between being a Christian and a non-Christian is that Christians are called to live in holiness and to obey the Holy Spirit. I do not think the difference is that Christians are supposed to debate unbelievers about evolutionary theory or something like that and faith is basically a duty to defend a literal interpretation of Genesis.You seem to be taking a cookie-cutter approach to Christianity. I would argue, as Paul did, that while we're all of one body, we're different parts of that body, with different functions and purposes. While it may very well be true that the Spirit is not leading you to defend a literal interpretation of Genesis, are you really so sure that the Spirit couldn't be leading others to do so?
I am personally unsure as to whether evolutionary theory is the best explanation of life.
