nwr, I have to confess... When I first became a Christian (apporx 2 yrs ago) and began to fear that much of the bible was true, I still thought that evolution was a fact!
Some time ago, an old man told me that your faith and your brain are like your shoes when you try to walk through life. You need both shoes to not hurt yourself. When used together, your shoes can make you a happy person and will protect you from nasty penetrating debris that fill the ground.
Right now, it seems to me that you only want to use one shoe rather than two. When you believed that evolution was fact, it was your faith at work and no rational thought involved. Now that you doubt evolution and believe that the bible is a science text book, you are still using your faith without any rational thought.
Perhaps it is time to try to use both of your shoes? Remember that for now it doesn't matter which side of the debate you decide to side with. The important thing is you need to filter out all the junk that are floating out there and start questioning the long held beliefs, even those that you hold dear.
