Do you mean to say you're one of those people who only believe in microevolution but not macroevolution?

You could try not to interpret the bible so literally, yet still believe in God. I don't think that sounds so hard. As I wrote, it's pretty much the norm with christians in this country.

Just general wisdom and guidance. You know, like the fable about the lion and the mouse.

If you read it, you'll see it's possible to get some wisdom from it without having to seriously believe that the event took place and that lions and mice talk to eachother.
