Thus, there is room in Christianity for creationism belief, intelligent design, and yes evolution. The bible must not be demanded to be interpreted literally in all it's books.
So I'll ask you the same thing I ask a lot of christians who give me this line of reasoning: what method do you use to determine which passages are literal, and which ones are metaphorical, how do you determine what the metaphors are, and how do you know your interpretation matches the intention of the creator god who inspired the writing itself?
I'll give you a hint: the answer shouldn't be "through personal experience," or "through my pastor."

Humans are still evolving now, we haven't stopped or anything.
Quote: Then he picked the best one, gave him a soul and started humanity. We don't know. Not really important to the church or our salvation.
If you don't know, then how do you know that it isn't important to your salvation?
