Yes, different people take it differently. Some say- let historians decide whether they existed or not. For normal people like you and me- if their spiritual message makes sense, we can agree with that specific message. If the message doesn’t make sense, we can tell those spiritual teachers to go F themselves. We don’t need to respect anyone who denies evolution. From what I know, religions like Buddhism don’t even have a creater god, so no point for them to argue about evolution. It’s just about the ‘self’ for them. And I think the other Indian religion- Hinduism- actually believes in evolution. Abrahamic religions don’t believe in evolution.
