Evolution and Genesis

Bible interpretations shape how people believe. Many take parts of the Bible as literal, some take it as metaphorical. The story of Genesis is one of the best examples of misinterpretation. Many atheists refute Christianity solely because the Earth cannot be made in six days. Humans did not show up in a day when there is evidence that the human race took thousands of years to develop into a homo sapien. Days in Genesis are not recognized as days. God does not have day and night since he created the concept of time. So the metaphorical day in Genesis can be the length of time for humans to evolve. Also, the human race is one of the youngest species on the earth. In Genesis, God created humans last.
