Evolution Trumps All?

How does one speak about Creationism or what the Bible says about how the world came about without anyone, who takes an alternative view, rolling their eyes or raising an eyebrow..their body language would be the equivalent of "how could you believe in that?" I am quite confident in the word of God and that it allows room for days to be millions or years but my God is one that has the power to create the entire universe and world in 6 gloriously loud, tumultous, exciting, and good days. My Christian faith allows me to understand the world as it is. Per N.T. Wright, does evolution offer hope or explain in the face of Auschwitz, drug crimes, child pornography, slavery, wars, strife, etc.? Well, actually evolution supports all those doesn't it? The strong survive and the weak perish. We as Christians, see the brokeness of the world, that man is fallen and only through Jesus Christ, can one find hope and reconciliation to the One that matters. The living breathing God who created everything.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
