Why do so many people think religion is at odds with evolution?
Some people believe that if they accept evolution, they cannot be religious because evolution does not agree with the story of Genesis. Actually, evolution does not explain the theory of origins, but explains what has occurred to all living beings after the first life form on earth formed. To compare creationism and evolution to one another is like comparing apples to oranges. Creationism is a non-scientific Christian belief that seeks to explain how God created life, while evolution is a scientific explanation of how life has changed through the thousands of years since it originated.
