Evolution Sunday and Empathy

Today I got an interesting e-mail. I have subscribed to a number of different groups that have a variety of bents. I am a member of Sojourners... and I get annoyed with them because they view that the "right" is wrong, and thus the "left" is Christian... yeah that is too simplistic.
Anyways, there is a group that sends out various things and causes that tend to be left of center but carry a less biased view. Anyways, I got an e-mail about "evolution sunday." I was excited. I even forwarded it to my pastors....
So let me preface this.... I am not sure about evolution... also I am really not convinced by "young earth" creationists... and I love the beauty of poetry... What does poetry have to do with this?
Oh yeah, the creation story follows Hebrew poetry, and may be a "myth" in that a literary way of explaining how God created the world...
All that aside, the bigger issue is empathy. What am i talking about? This is crazy pants! I must believe "a" or "b" otherwise how could i be a Christian....
Yeah so really I don't really even care about "evolution/creation" debate, I want to understand where people come from. I have no interest in figuring out how God created the universe. I love the struggle though.
Richard Dawkins believes that evolution proves theology wrong. Francisis Collins disagrees, Alister McGarth disagrees even more, and Answers in Genisis makes me sad they claim to be Christian....
All that to say, I feel the need to ask others for forgivness for Christians without scientific knowledge but with holy zeal... and I need to look at the philosophical implications of belief...

Yeah, I don't know how God created the world, but whatever the process it still does not take away that I believe he was the process... All that to say, we need to have empathy for others, and not create extra rules for grace to impart on others. I love the mystery, and i know Jesus/the God Head/the Holy Spirit love it too.
