This thread is for the purpose of proving that there is no requirement in the New Testament to take a particular stance on Evolution before one can have salvation.
Had God waited until I was skeptical of evolution before I met the Lord Jesus I might have never asked Him to take me to Himself.
Jesus did not wait for me to be well versed in any aspect of the theory of evolution before becomming my Lord and Savior.
My advice - Put your problems with politics, evolution, public education on the back burner. Come to the Lord Jesus just as you are. He will recieve you. He is eager to be received BY you for forgiveness and eternal redemption.
Your changing position on evolution is not a requirement of salvation.
However, I think you must believe that God is. (Hebrews 11:6)
