Struggling with Family Over Beliefs on Evolution
I’m feeling really stuck right now. My family are all young earth creationists, but I’ve come to a point where I just can’t agree with their beliefs especially when it comes to evolution. I don’t believe in rejecting the idea that humans share an ape-like ancestor, and every time I try to explain the evidence supporting evolution, the conversations turn ugly and go nowhere.
Now I’m hearing that they’re really concerned about me, and I’m worried it could get to the point where they try to push me to abandon my belief in evolution. But I just can’t do that I can’t ignore the evidence or pretend to agree when I don’t.
Has anyone else been through something like this? How did you handle it?
