No it's totally fine!!

Okay, to be honest, I haven't done much research on creationism, but from what I've heard it sounds scientifically baseless, at least compared to evolution. Well, I grew up being taught about the theory of evolution and why it's right, I've watched videos and read stuff about it and I just generally know a bit about it since that's what I was raised with. I see the strongest proofs for evolution being just that so much research has been put towards it and all shows strong signs pointing toward evolution and gives us a lot of evidence for it, wheras creationism hasn't had nearly as much research or nearly as much evidence.

I don't think anything about evolution directly cancels out the creation account in Genesis. I still believe the whole world was made by God, everything about it, and it was all exactly as God planned. I think Adam and Eve still might've been the first humans. I think that Adam and Eve still committed the first sin and doomed the human race. I just think that a lot more of the Bible is symbolic or metaphoric rather than literal. Like the 7 days that God created the world- that could've really been 7 thousand years, or 7 million. Time is different for God. Genisis probably just simplified things.

Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this- to be completely honest, I'm not too strong on this subject and haven't done much research. It's just what seems to make the most sense to me. I'm also very sorry if any of this seems rude or like I'm putting down you or your beliefs.

I'd love to hear your side of things, and I'm totally open to being proved wrong (:
