A lot of people who have found evolution a stumbling block to them believing the gospel have been helped by the Creation.com web site. This web site offers answers to questions to like "If God didn’t create the sun until Day 4, then how could each of the previous three days have had an evening and a morning?" from a scientific and creationist persepective. There are technical articles for those who want an in depth answer. As Steve said, you don't have to be an idiot to believe the Bible. Whilst I'm fully convinced that the Creationist view on Genesis etc is both biblically and theologically correct, I don't want anyone who thinks differently to feel they have to be a Creationist to be a Christian. I think this is the sort of thing Paul was saying in 1 Cor 8:13. I don't want an evolutionary or a creationist view to be a stumbling block to anyone trusting in Jesus as Lord and Savior.

It was also good to think about the faith that it takes to believe some scientific assumptions. Think too about alternative philosophies - some of the things people believe in, listen to, put faith in (crystals, talking plants, tea leaves...) are much more unbelievable than the claims about Jesus. Don't be shy to talk about Jesus! wasn’t it liberating to hear that we don’t have to become experts on the claims of evolution and how to refute them to discuss this question?
