I have a degree in conservation. My boyfriend was raised deeply religious and was not taught evolution. I can’t stress to you enough how important it is to me that he believe in evolution

There is a billboard on the outside of Manhattan that I pass all the time coming home and it looks just like this with like a Bible verse and a number to “get the truth” I genuinely think about crashing into it all the time

If you guys can’t agree on even something as simple as that - is it really worth it? It’s not your job to educate someone else’s kid.

I never even realized thats a deal breaker. I get the ick from how some people think, I always like to unpack how people live in disbelief. Like he believes genetic code is preserved generation to generation? Thats so many base pairs to get right

So this might not work but it’s worth a shot You COULD bring up how genetic code kinda proves everything is related. The same ways scientists can figure out a paternity test with 99.9999999% accuracy, for instance, you can use to relate any living thing with any other living thing So… since we know similarities in genetic code means biological relation on some level, that would naturally lend credence to evolution (idk I’m tryna help out here)

Not a dealbreaker but something to work on. He’s open to learning. It’s just that all he was taught before is that evolution is the idea that “man descended from monkeys” and obviously that doesn’t make sense so he decided evolution doesn’t make sense
