Which is why the meme is still funny 😜
I'm a Christian and I believe in evolution much like I believe that cells make up the body or that cars function via internal combustion that exerts force on a piston to spin a shaft with a flywheel. It's clear that the process of evolution is real and that that is a true description of how creatures develop across generations.
Is it the only mechanism at play, and that the only way to describe it? No.
Is it probable that humans came from chimplike ancestors like Australopithecus? Yes.
Is this incompatible with God, Creation, and Jesus and all that? Not in the slightest, if one truly believes what he says about God and understands it properly.

My brothers in Christ, stop using logical fallacies to ignore truth. Don't be like atheists.

You are free to believe and worship whatever you want, of course, and I’m not here to pick a fight.
I’d only ask you to consider whether what you understand “properly” about Jesus is just as valid as what a Hindu understands “properly” about Hanuman, or what an Ancient Greek understood “properly” about Athena.
Whether that is valid to the Hindu or the Athenian rests on the validity of their logic and the following of a sound epistemology as they see it. If it is indeed concordant with reality under their interpretation, then it is properly understood and valid. When it comes to my claim of the existence of such a true interpretation in accordance with my understanding of things, however, those religions are not for me to analyze. I know almost nothing about them in comparison to Christianity. I am also a Daoist of sorts, that being also the only other one that I understand somewhat well, and I think it is sound when properly understood.
