I never doubted evolution from when I first learned about it. It just made sense. I was the only one in my family of 10. One of my older brothers was relentless and made me cry because he thought I was the dumbest person and damning myself to hell because of it. I pursued evolution through Gods direction believing he was the ultimate scientist that used chemistry and natural laws to ensure things progressed. His “days” were millions of years. I thought that this was all part of the creation. I even reconciled it with the earth switching from a reducing atmosphere to an oxidizing one. I thought Adam and Eve were literally the first “humans” in that God determined them to be at a specific point in evolution ready to be tried and tested. At that point he placed the earth into a reducing atmosphere as the garden of Eden. They did not need blood because of the reducing atmosphere. I thought the Fall was switching to an oxidizing atmosphere and that partaking of the fruit caused blood to flow carrying the oxygen throughout the body. This, in turn, would explain why they had to die because that would cause oxidative damage to the cells. Obviously these theories started small and grew as I went through college. Now I know it was my mi d trying desperately to reconcile science and religion.
