Hello, this is my first post here! I figured this thread seemed like a good place to start.
I consider myself a non-specific protestant Christian. I'm also currently a Theistic Evolutionist, believing that the Big Bang occurred 13 billion years ago and that life did in fact evolve in the Darwinian sense. I think this is 100% compatible with the idea that God created humanity, as evolution of species only occurred the way it did because the universe has the constraints that it does, which I think God set in place at the big bang.
I believe the Bible is inspired by God, but I think that many parts can be interpreted in multiple ways, often in ways that aren't obvious when you first read them without significant analysis. I guess in many ways I'm a "liberal" Christian.
I became interested in Christianity and took it seriously back in middle school, and in later years as I began to learn more about science and the natural world my creation position transformed into Old Earth Creationism, and then later Theistic Evolutionism after being inspired by people like Francis Collins and other things that I learned in high school and college.
