You seriously need to step back and be analytical about what a belief in macro evolution entails. It essentially demands your utter rejection of Genesis chapter 1, the story of how we came to be. The two are not compatible. God was not guessing when he inspired Moses to write it. He had a solid grasp on what a day was, what years are, and what millennia is.
God specifically said 6 days then he rested. He didn’t spend millions of years between each day and just call it a day, it literally was a day. For you to accept macro evolution, you must accept the Bible is incorrect at this point. If it’s incorrect in the first chapter of the first book, where else is it invalid? See where this goes?
Your rejection of what God clearly states is in effect a rejection of God Himself.

Yeah, okay.

If the Church of England can: via reconciling their faith with proven scientific fact...:

...what's your excuse?
The above is proof that the C-of-E can have their cake and eat it. Thus not only is Cre(a)ti(o)nism destroyed, but so is an old saying.
@hydrolythe
My guess is that this Guy is a protestant fundie. Anyone else agree?
The C-of-E is the basis of modern Protestant Christianity: via King Henry VIII. Also, the KJV, because of a later king & authoriser of such, James I.
As for the OP, the C-of-E dis agrees, don't bother them about it.
Science is a creation of humanity. By rejecting science, you are rejecting humanity itself.
Why do you hate humans, you monster ??!!!1?!
One is science, and provides the bedrock foundation of all of our advances in biology and genetics.
I'm with science. Even in biblical days I'm sure every farmer who ever bred livestock understood the basics of genetics.
A belief in macro evolution entails the same thing as belief in long walks. Macro evolution is simply a whole damn lot of micro evolutions, just as a long walk is simply a whole damn lot of steps.
What about rejection of Genesis chapter 2?
Moses supposedly lived long after God supposedly created the Earth. By Moses' time, God would have been a complete retard if he didn't know what a day, a year and a millennium is. ("Millennia" is plural, dolt).
I thought God rested on the 7th day, not the 6th...
I think the Bible is a musty old book of mythology, yes.
LOL, Moses wrote Genesis.

Yes, we can't trust the bible to be true about anything. Because if the bible contradicts reality then the bible is wrong, not reality.
"It [macro evolution] essentially demands your utter rejection of Genesis chapter 1, the story of how we came to be." - Yes. Your point being?
"The two are not compatible." - if you take Genesis literally, no indeed they are not. And I'll go with the one supported by the evidence.
"For you to accept macro evolution, you must accept the Bible is incorrect at this point." - I long ago "accepted" (read: came to the conclusion that) that the Bible is incorrect on a lot more than just that point.
"If it’s incorrect in the first chapter of the first book, where else is it invalid?" - Well, as I was just saying.....
"Your rejection of what God clearly states is in effect a rejection of God Himself." - And again, your point being?

"If it’s incorrect in the first chapter of the first book, where else is it invalid? See where this goes?"
Yes. And so do you. You just need to make that one little step.
"You seriously need to step back and be analytical about what a belief in macro evolution entails."
No. No, that's wrong. YOU need to actually understand the evidence for macroevolution, and decide the truth of that matter, without regard to the consequences.
That's like deciding a man is innocent of a crime, NOT because of the evidence of his innocence, but because if he goes to jail, no one will water his plants.
IFF you find that macroevolution is real, and you find that creates problems with your faith, then that will be a problem, yes.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
