Perhaps God used evolution to develop humanity or he didn't - It shouldn't matter as you and the Christian world's salvation does not depend on this theory/scientific fact being a universal truth.
    This is true, and people on both sides of the debate need to remember this.

    This is more questionable. Usually, these disputes have been between denominations which have disagreed on saving principles. For example, being 'born again' is seen as a saving principle by many (including myself). For others, being in communion with a certain church might be a saving principle.

    But the bickering isn't usually that bad. Of those 35,000 denominations, the vast majority will probably believe a good few thousand at least will also be a legitimate Christian church. Nobody (perhaps outwith a tiny minority) believes people aren't saved because of minor doctrinal disputes.

    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
