It's all true, it's not a con. I reckon it's your religious instincts fighting against it, because science does prove a lot of the bible to be nonsense. But that's reality.
Evolution and such are complex, but it doesn't take too long to get a basic understanding. It's all about very, very slight variations in offspring, and how well those changes deal with the surroundings. The ones with what turn out to be beneficial changes die less, and so that change is passed on.
It's just hard to visualise because we're talking about millions of years, but think of it as 1 plus 1 plus 1... It builds really slowly, but eventually it reaches any given number.
I hope you will give it a look, I've heard there's many good books out there that help you understand the basics. Don't let religion bully you into being ignorant, it's been doing that for far too long. Truth should not fear knowledge. And this is knowledge, it's not crackpot, it's proven. It's just the man on the street doesn't know enough about it, or the scientific method, to appreciate that.
It's not like when you investigate science you have to abandon your faith. Science makes no demands.
