I am curious as to why some Christians adamantly oppose evolution. Evolution doesn't deny creation as such.
Because when they read the Genesis account, they visualize in their minds God creating all animals that now exist instantaneously in the blink of an eye. They then conflate what they visualized in their minds while reading with what the Bible actually says, and when they defend what they visualized while reading, they think they are defending the word of God, and all who oppose them on this point they see as the enemies of God.
WOW, that's interesting. I tend to look at all ancient stories Christian or other wise as stories written by the ancients based on the information they had at the time. Information like everything else evolves over time and new stories have to be written based on that new information.
